Dec 6, 2016 // Madonna: I worry about 'absolutely everything'

Madonna worries about "absolutely everything".

The 'Living for Love' hitmaker - who has Lourdes, 20, Rocco, 16, David, 11, and Mercy, 10 - admits her family is her top concern.

She said: "I worry about absolutely Âeverything. I worry about my kids all day long. I worry about my health. I worry about whether I'm going to get things done in time.

"I worry about every project I'm working on. I worry about whether I'll get to sleep at night. I worry about the state of the world. There isn't anything I don't worry about."

And the 58-year-old singer says her family is "everything" to her and she has great pride in her kids' achievements.

She added: "My family is everything. I will go to war for them. Whatever I'm fighting for, it's for my daughters and my sons. I want them to have a good future. I've created an unconventional family and we have discussions at the dinner table about all sorts of things.

"My 11-year-old son can speak eloquently about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela and James Baldwin. My daughter Mercy plays the piano and can talk to you about Nina Simone. I'm really proud of that."

Madonna's children regularly feature in her Instagram pictures but they always give her "permission" to include them in her posts.

She added: "When I post their things, they give me permission. A lot of times they'll send me pictures and say, 'Please don't post this,' and I won't. They have private accounts, and I respect that. I also consider my Âchildren part of my work and the work that we do together."

And the pop legend feels "so lucky" to have children David and Mercy with her but she desperately wants to improve the lives of other children in their native Malawi too.

She told the new issue of Billboard magazine: "I've been working in Malawi for over a decade. I have a huge commitment and love for the country and I will never desert them. I adopted my two children that I'm so lucky to have living in my house right now."

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy publishes nude photos of Madonna taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
