It really feels like the past couple of weeks have been hell for pop queen Madonna. First it was the constant criticism from all over the world in regards to her baby adoption and now insiders reveal that her father is extremely ill.
According to the UK Sun Madonna is now taking her baby David on a sad visit to see her dad, who is being treated for cancer. Privately the family has been going through hell and the singer wants her children to see their granddad Tony Ciccone in the hospital.
Madonna’s father has been getting chemotherapy after surgery for colon cancer. The controversy queen and her three kids will visit Tony on a one-day private visit at the Leelanau County Hospital in Michigan near his home. Tony is not in immediate trouble and we hear that his treatment is going well. Since it’s a serious illness Madonna wants her kids to meet Tony while he is in relatively good form.
Tony featured a lot in Madonna’s documentary I’m Going To Tell You A Secret which followed her 2004 Re-Invention Tour. In the film Madonna visited her Italian Catholic dad at his vineyard in Michigan and then he was filmed going to one of her shows. For many years Madonna, who had a strict upbringing, rebelled against her father. But during the Re-Invention Tour they became the closest they had been for years. She now credits him with being a major force in her tough personality.
