Madonna -- the world's top-selling female recording artist of all time, according to the Guiness World Records -- has abandoned her homeless brother, Anthony Ciccone, who has been forced to sleep under a bridge in Traverse City, Michigan, the Daily Beast website reports today (October 22, 2011).
Ciccone, 55, said he last worked at the family winery -- Ciccone Vineyard & Winery in Suttons Bay, Michigan -- before he lost his job there a year and a half ago.
He suffered frostbite on his feet last winter, and he said the city's effort to help the homeless has not been enough to help all of them in these harsh economic times.
Madonna, 53 -- born Madonna Louise Ciccone in Bay City, Michigan -- moved to New York City in 1977 to pursue a career in modern dance. Her worldwide popularity as a singer, actress, dancer, and entrepreneur have helped her to become a multimillionaire, while her beloved brother Anthony relies on a network of local churches to survive.
