MADONNA CICCONE is the highest-earning female singer of all time, one of our greatest living pop icons and possibly the most famous woman on Earth.

Now, in Madonna: Like an Icon, Lucy O'Brien tells the complex story of an artist who has reinvented herself time and time again, and continues to top the charts almost thirty years after the release of her first single. Complete with detailed analysis of Madonna's music, and revealing interviews with those who've known and worked with her—from musicians and producers to dancers and directors—we follow Madonna from her difficult childhood, to those frenetic early years in New York, through the shocks and scandals of the 1990s Sex era, to her twenty-first-century incarnation as an English Lady of the Manor, and the controversial Malawian adoption saga.
