The performer, born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, recalled that she was very young when her mother, for whom she was named, died of cancer..."I wanted to attach myself to another name," she said according to excerpts from the interview released by ABC on Thursday. "This is in no way a negation of who my mother is...I wanted to attach myself to the energy of a different name."
Her father married the family housekeeper six months after her mother's death, and Madonna left home. Which explains a lot--it's her father who she's really been punishing all these years!
