Madonna, the Queen of Pop turns 60 today. The name Madonna is singularly one of the most famous in the world. The Rebel Heart singer has been a music and fashion icon for decades, inspiring other artists and creating trends since her start in the industry. The artist – full name Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, has performed on 10 concert tours and sold more than 300 million records, making her the best-selling female recording artist of all times, according to the Guinness World Records.
Madonna’s image is one that can be described by some as sexy, erotic or controversially vulgar and offending for others. Her performances accentuated her trademark image of a sex symbol, always sparking controversy, but she’s so comfortable with herself, and she’s not afraid to live life to the fullest and say whatever she feels, no matter what anyone thinks.
Provocative and controversial, she’s a true cultural icon in every sense of the word and has inspired many fashion trends throughout her career.
