Madonna, 65, makes heartbreaking comments about late mother who couldn’t afford a coat as she visits storage space where her cone bras are kept: ‘Memory lane’
Madonna made rare comments about her late mother in an Instagram post shared on Monday.
The 64-year-old singer was visiting her storage vault where she keeps her many old concert costumes. She made the stop to prepare for her next world tour which kicks off in July.
And in doing so the mother of six was reminded of her late mom – also named Madonna – who died from breast cancer in 1963 at the age of 30 when Madonna was only five-years-old.
The performer – who was seen rehearsing last week – said that she thought of her mom when in the vault because being there was ‘a nostalgic trip down memory lane.’
The often steely star showed a tender side as she relayed that her mom was often cold from being ill from cancer and also they did not have enough money for the matriarch to buy a coat for herself so she felt the chill. Madonna finished her post by saying she hopes her mother is warm now in heaven.

Looking back: Madonna made rare comments about her late mother in an Instagram post shared on Monday. The 64-year-old singer was visiting her storage vault where she keeps her many old concert costumes in anticipation of her next world tour which kicks off in July
Reminded her of mama: And in doing so the mother of six was reminded of her late mom – also named Madonna – who died from breast cancer in 1963 at the age of 30 when Madonna was only five-years-old. The performer said that she thought of her mom when in the vault because being there was ‘a nostalgic trip down memory lane’
It has been 60 years since her mother passed away.
The post began with Madonna talking about looking back. ‘A trip to my archives is always a nostalgic trip down memory lane!’ began the Borderline singer.
‘If I think about my journey through music over the last 4 decades— how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!’
She then focused on her own difficult childhood in Michigan.
‘When I was a little girl I remember my mother was always cold. Partly because she was sick but also because she never had a coat,’ said the Rebel Heart hitmaker.
‘She always spent what little money we had on our coats and I remember standing outside waiting for the schoolbus With my mother shivering in the cold in the middle of winter!!’ added the cover girl as her post turned from nostalgic to heartbreaking.
Madonna then acknowledged her own wealth.
‘Years later when I became successful my mother’s sister said to me, “Now You can buy all the coats your mother couldn’t buy for herself!”’ wrote the Grammy winner.

And she drew a parallel.
‘The journey from the memory of my shivering mother in Winter to me shivering in the over air-conditioned storage space where all my costumes are stored is quite remarkable!’ noted the actress.
Madonna then said she was ‘overwhelmed with gratitude’ at the experience.
And the New York resident shared that she thinks of her mom when warming up: ‘Every time I put on an incredible coat I think of my Mother. I hope she likes my taste in costumes But most of all i hope she’s warm!’
The icon then added a hashtag for her Madonna Celebration Tour which kids off in Seattle, Washington on July 18, 2023.

The rare photos were eye-popping as well.

Followers also got a look at Madonna’s steel frame storage vault which looked large and secure.
Madonna has rarely spoken off her late mother.
In 1989, the singer admitted to Rolling Stone about her mother, ‘If she were alive, I would be someone else. I would be a completely different person.’
Then she told the Chicago Tribune in 1989, ‘I don’t think she ever allowed herself to wallow in the tragedy of her situation. So in that respect I think she gave me an incredible lesson.’
In 1991, Madonna told the Los Angeles Times, ‘I know that some of my lack of inhibition comes from my mother’s death. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.’
