Madonna forgets the words to her song in busty Instagram video a day after celebrating her 59th birthday
Singer has released a staggering 59 albums and countless singles throughout her career – so it’s not surprising
MADONNA looked as though she was having the time of her life in her latest Instagram video.
The Queen of Pop was singing along to her 2912 hit track B-Day Song with two members of her entourage as she continues her 59th birthday celebrations.
She appeared to come unstuck after a while however, the mum-of-six forgot the lyrics to the track.
Laughing, she told her nine million Instagram followers: “I can’t remember the words to the song that I wrote,” before bellowing out the chorus.
Madonna celebrated her big day in Italy, and made a statement by riding a horse into her party in Puglia.
Her youngest daughters, Stella and Esther, who she adopted from Malawi six months ago, were with her.
Madonna’s relaxing break away with her children comes just days after her brother Christopher Ciccone accused her of “blacklisting him in Hollywood”.
His fresh blow comes nine years after publication of his bitchy bestseller, Life with My Sister Madonna, which destroyed their relationship.
In an exclusive chat, Christopher, who for years was her backstage dresser and show designer, said: “I could have written that book, the book about how horrifying she is or can be, but I didn’t write that book.
“I was just looking for a little recognition for the work I’ve done for 20 years with her, that it wasn’t one person.”
In his 2008 book, Christopher told how his sister was bossy, sweaty, moody and, above all, mean.
Both still deeply scarred by their mother’s death in 1963, Madonna had brought Christopher to New York and employed him — but also demeaned and underpaid him and, he claimed, even outed him as gay on television.
Reflecting on the row, Christopher says: “When I got back to LA my 500 acquaintances suddenly turned out to be four friends.

“She’s quite powerful in Los Angeles, in the industry. I was working in the industry doing music videos and tours and it was difficult to get work, if not impossible.”
But Christopher reckons Madonna has lost her way without him and says he is barely able to watch her live shows now because she lost sight of what her fans want.
He said: “Her performance lost its theatricality to me and lost its connection to the audience.
“That was disappointing. How many tours have there been since ’94? Five? It’s difficult to watch them because I know what she’s capable of.
“It’s all screens and projections and Kabbalah and all this other stuff that the audience doesn’t really connect to.”
