Madonna celebrates her father Silvio Ciccone, affectionately known as the "O.G. Daddy," on his 93rd birthday! She also used the birthday greeting to share where she got her incredible drive and work ethic from.
The pop icon, 65, shared a heartwarming Instagram post on Sunday, June 2, featuring cherished moments with her dad over the years.
"Congratulations for riding the roller coaster of life with humor and sanity intact," Madonna wrote in her caption. "Thank you for sharing your mantra in life with me, which is: 'I'm gonna go until the wheels fall off.'"
The post includes intimate snapshots, including Ciccone embracing his daughter backstage at one of her events, a nostalgic family portrait with Madonna's late mother, Madonna Louise, and a vintage photo of Silvio himself.
Meanwhile, as an indication of how unstoppable she is, the Queen of Pop has reportedly resumed her focus on the film depicting her life after temporarily halting the project in January last year to prioritize her extensive Celebration tour.
According to the Sun, Julia Garner, known for her role in Ozark, has been diligently preparing to portray Madonna, undergoing secret dance and singing lessons over the past year. Madonna is now initiating meetings with Universal Pictures to revive the project, aiming to finalize the script by this summer.
The source added that Madonna is looking into making this biopic bigger and bolder than other music biopics.
"Madonna feels that Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Elton John's Rocketman biopics have paved the way for her," the source explained. "She wants to make this more unique and dramatic than those," the source added.

According to In Touch Weekly, Justen Lipeles is suing Madonna, Live Nation, and four California venues, claiming they failed to disclose late start times, uncomfortable temperatures, lip-syncing, and explicit stage performances.
Accusations include negligent misrepresentation, emotional distress, false advertising, unfair competition, and breach of contract.
