Braless Madonna, 66, puts on a very racy display as she poses in a white tank top and lace underwear to mark Pride Month
Madonna turned up the heat with her latest Instagram post on Wednesday. The singer, 66, set pulses racing as she posed for a series of sizzling snaps on a bed with a small bunch of white flowers. Showing off her sensational figure, she left little to the imagination in a white tank top and lace underwear. Madonna teamed the look with tan stockings and styled her golden locks into a bouncy blowout as she gave her followers a treat for their eyes. She captioned the sexy snaps: : 'Love the Skin you're in. Happy Pride,' along with the Pride flag and a blue heart emoji. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She also added the hashtag, Veronica Electronica, in reference to the remix album which is set to be released on July 25. The long-awaited remix album is the accompaniment to her 1998 record, Ray of Light. The snaps come just days after Madonna took to Instagram with a series of photos commemorating the 94th birthday celebration for her father Silvio Ciccone. The Express Yourself artist thanked her dad for passing down what she described as a 'zero F**** mentality!' that helped her conquer the world of entertainment. 'Happy Birthday to my Father,' the 66-year-old pop superstar said in the caption of a post to more than 19.9 million followers on the social media platform. The pop icon said of her father: '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.' The Grammy-winning singer, whose full name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, hailed her father for his consistency over the years and strong work ethic as he approaches 100. '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"' the Like A Prayer vocalist said. She added the phrase S.A.M.E., ostensibly indicating she inherited the can-do mentality that's helped her conquer the entertainment industry over the past four decades. The artist of hits including Vogue, Material Girl and Like a Virgin said she felt that contemporary society tends to marginalize older people when they should be doing the exact opposite. '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,' Madonna said. She added, 'We are fixated on youth and physical beauty that ironically teaches us nothing and gives us only momentary gratification.' Madonna is mother to six children: Lourdes Leon, 28, Rocco Ritchie, 24, Mercy James, 19, David, 19, and twins Estere and Stella, 12. In an accompanying video post, the family was seen enjoying an extended birthday celebration that included a large banner; and outdoor sports such as soccer and horseback riding as summer sets in. Madonna herself looked radiant in multiple images in the gallery, including one in which she wore a blue print dress while her father enjoyed a slice of birthday cake. The Take a Bow songstress wrote 'Dad is Flexin on his 94th' in an adjacent post on Instagram Stories Tuesday that showed Silvio relaxing on a chair outdoors. Madonna wrapped up her initial post in saying, 'Good job, Dad!! I'm proud of you and I know Mom is smiling and Happy wherever she is,' referring to her late mother Madonna Louise Ciccone, who passed away in 1963 after a bout with breast cancer at 30. Madonna was five-years-old at the time of the tragic death and has spoken extensively about her heartbreak over it in recent years. 'I stood on stage for 81 shows staring up at the beautiful face of my mother and wondering what she must've been thinking as she waved goodbye to me from her hospital window,' the pop icon said last year about performing in front of her late matriarch's image while on her Celebration tour. She added: 'I stepped into the station wagon and shut the door not knowing it was the last time I'd see her. 'Nobody told me my mother was dying - I just watched her disintegrate mysteriously and then she disappeared and there was no explanation except that she had gone to sleep.'

Madonna blasted for being a 'hypocrite' as she poses in knickers for photoshoot
The Queen of Pop, Madonna, shared a few raunchy snaps on her social media, but not all of her followers were impressed with her caption Madonna was blasted by fans for being a 'hypocrite' as she told them to 'love the skin they're in' after sharing snaps of her latest raunchy photoshoot. The Material Girl icon, 66, took to her Instagram page to share several snaps of herself donning knickers and a white vest. The singer styled her blonde locks in loose waves and rocked dark eyeshadow with simple makeup. She used a white flower as a prop as she pouted for the camera. In the caption, she wrote: "Love the Skin you're in. Happy Pride," along with the Pride flag and a blue heart emoji. She also added the hashtag, Veronica Electronica, in reference to the remix album she's releasing on July 25. The long-rumoured remix album is the accompaniment to her 1998 record, Ray of Light. While many were in awe over the photoshoot, some branded her a 'hypocrite' for her use of filters in her images. One person said: "Love the skin you're in but u use filters all the time lol." "And if you don't love the skin you're in, fill it full of injectables," another said to the star while one fan simply commented: "Oh the irony." Others were quick to compliment the star, with one user writing: "The essence of a woman who continues to defy patterns, break barriers and reaffirm her place as a symbol of reinvention and freedom." "Wow beautiful," one said while another commented: "It doesn't matter who is in office because everybody know Madonna will forever be the queen of pop." Madonna recently showcased a brunette look on social media and revealed the motivation behind her recent decision to have the makeover. She shared a series of selfies on her Instagram Story. She ditched her signature blonde hair in favour of going brunette in the photos. In one of the posts, she told her followers on the platform that there was a poignant reason being her sporting the new hairstyle. The La Isla Bonita singer revealed to her followers that the look was inspired by her late mother Madonna Fortin, who died when the Vogue singer was five. The Grammy Award winner wrote over one of the photos: "I missed my Mother so I channeled her." Following her mother's death, Madonna was raised by her father Silvio 'Tony' Ciccone, 93, and her late step-mother Joan Ciccone, who died aged 81 last year. Joan, who had briefly been a housekeeper for the family, married father-of-six Tony in 1966, three years on from his first wife's death.

Madonna to Finally Release "Ray of Light" Remix Album "Veronica Electronica": Here's When It Arrives
Yara Sameh Madonna will finally release her long-lost project 'Veronica Electronica,' featuring rare and unreleased remixes from her legendary 1998 album 'Ray of Light.' The album will also be available as part of the 'Silver Collection,' her ongoing career-spanning series of limited-edition silver vinyl reissues. The album arrives July 25 digitally and on silver vinyl, with 'Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit)' available now. It is part of the singer's 2021 deal with Warner Music that saw her catalog returning to the company that released her first albums. An eight-track companion to 'Ray of Light,' 'Veronica Electronica' was originally envisioned by Madonna as a remix album in 1998. The record was ultimately sidelined by the original album's long string of hit singles. 'Ray of Light' went on to sell more than 16 million copies worldwide and earned Madonna four Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Album. The album's title is in itself a throwback, as 'electronica' was a loosely defined late-'90s musical genre of hard-hitting electronic dance music, defined by Prodigy, Moby, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, and occasionally stretched to artists like Bjork and Daft Punk. Optimistically considered a successor to the multiplatinum 'alternative' wave, the trend, if it ever really was one, quickly petered out with the end of the decade and the millenium. 'Veronica Electronica' features newly edited versions of club remixes by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, along with the original demo of 'Gone, Gone, Gone' — a previously unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels. Track Listing: Side A 1. 'Drowned World/Substitute For Love' – BT & Sasha Bucklodge Ashram New Edit 2. 'Ray Of Light' – Sasha Twilo Mix Edit 3. 'Skin' – The Collaboration Remix Edit 4. 'Nothing Really Matters' – Club 69 Speed Mix Meets The Dub Side B 1. 'Sky Fits Heaven' – Victor Calderone Future New Edit 2. 'Frozen' – Widescreen Mix and Drums 3. 'The Power Of Good-Bye' – Fabien's Good God Mix Edit 4.

Madonna unearths long-rumoured Veronica Electronica remix album
Madonna has introduced fans to her Veronica Electronica alter ego amid the release of a long-rumoured project. On Thursday, the music icon announced that she would be releasing a collection of "rare and unreleased" remixes from her 1998 Ray of Light album. Titled Veronica Electronica, the eight-track project will drop on 25 July. While Madonna originally had the idea in 1998, she wasn't ready to release the album at the time. "The project was ultimately sidelined by the original album's runaway success and the parade of hit singles that dominated the spotlight for more than a year," a press release reads. "Ray of Light went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide and earned Madonna four Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Album." Veronica Electronica features newly edited versions of club remixes by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, along with the original demo of Gone, Gone, Gone - an unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels. The Material Girl hitmaker has already released Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit) on all major streaming platforms. Following the news, Madonna took to her Instagram Stories to give further insight into her "other half". "Making my Ray of Light album was a seminal moment in my life as an artist," the 66-year-old wrote. "I was going through a huge metamorphosis. I had given birth to my daughter Lola. I had found my spiritual path and I was ready to shed a new skin and take a road less traveled by. I ventured into electronic music with (record producer) William Orbit and I created an alter ego, taking one of my middle names - and Veronica Electronica was born. Meet my other half." Madonna unveiled her last album, Madame X, in 2019.
