"Madonna&amp;#039;s estranged brother has claimed that the singer does not care about his well-being. Anthony Ciccone has been homeless for three years and told the Mail Online that his family have not supported him.  The 56-year-old, who is an alcoholic, told the website: &amp;quot;Madonna doesn&amp;#039;t give a s**t if I&amp;#039;m dead or alive. She lives in her own world. &amp;quot;I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other.  &amp;quot;My father would be very happy if I died of hypothermia and then he would not have to worry about it anymore. He&amp;#039;s old school, he grew up in the depression. &amp;quot;He doesn&amp;#039;t want to be bothered, he&amp;#039;s lived his life you see. He doesn&amp;#039;t like me. He doesn&amp;#039;t want me to be me, he wants me to be somebody else. He thinks the way I live is intentional. He simply doesn&amp;#039;t know me.&amp;quot; Anthony, who lost his job on the family vineyard when he was found drinking from vats and now lives on the streets of North Michigan, said that his family had failed to help him when he needed it most.   &amp;quot;[I got] no family back up, when the chips fell, no family back-up. I&amp;#039;d rather be working. What would you do under these circumstance when your family has stood against you completely?&amp;quot; he said. However, family friend Kathy Meteyer said that Madonna&amp;#039;s father Tony Ciccone and stepmother Joan were distressed by Anthony&amp;#039;s refusal to stop drinking. She said: &amp;quot;He just can&amp;#039;t come back until he stops drinking, because they think it will kill him, it already kind of has. &amp;quot;They have helped him so many times. Tony has put him through rehab and given him lots of chances. I think Madonna paid for rehab a few times. The alcohol has taken over his brain.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
