Madonna is honoring her father, Silvio Ciccone, with a sweet shoutout for his 94th birthday.
On Tuesday (June 3), the Queen of Pop, born Madonna Louise Ciccone, shared a birthday tribute to her dad on X (formerly Twitter) celebrating him turning 94 years old, writing, "Happy Birthday to my Father. Silvio Ciccone, 94 and going strong!!"
The "Material Girl" singer also shared a couple photos of her father to go alongside her message. In one snap, Ciccone lounged in a patio chair on a sunny day decked out in a cap and sunglasses, while the other photo captured Madonna posing next to her dad, holding a bundle of paint brushes as he dug into a slice of cake at his birthday celebration.
"He has survived many wars and many losses in his life. and he still has a sense of humor and a strong desire to get out of bed every morning and make the most of his day," she added. "Whenever people ask my father when he's going to retire, his answer is always the same. 'I'm going to go until the wheels fall off'!! S.A.M.E."
Madonna continued her birthday wishes on Instagram, sharing a video of his party while adding, "It's a shame we do not live in a world that celebrates knowledge and experience and the wisdom that we can only learn from our elders who have survived for many decades on this planet. We are fixated on youth and physical beauty that ironically teaches us nothing and gives us only momentary gratification."
She added, "Good job, Dad!! I'm proud of you and I know Mom is smiling and Happy wherever she is. Thank you for giving me your zero F---s mentality!"
Madonna also recently channeled her late mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone, paying homage with a bold new hairstyle reminiscent of her mom.
