Madonna has paid tribute to herself on her birthday, because Madonna. She’s done it in the best way, branding herself ‘the Queen’ as she turns the big 6-0. You are, Madonna. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The music legend is spending her birthday in Marrakesh and wanted to make sure that no one would forget that though she’s miles away, it’s still her big day. ‘In case someone forgot!’ she wrote with a pic of herself holding the sign to her head.
Madonna’s career has taken her through 10 tours, she’s sold 300 million albums and is the best-selling female artist of all time, having originally moved to New York in 1977 in the hope of making it as a model. Holiday was Madonna’s first hit in the US, reaching no 16 in the charts in 1984. In 1985 she had a sell-out Virgin Tour.

She released her third studio album in 1986 which went on to produce five hit singles, including Papa Don’t Preach, a song about teenage pregnancy which proved groundbreaking at the time. Madonna released Like A Prayer in 1989 with another dose of controversy as the vidoe depicted the burning of crosses.
In 2003 she famously snogged Britney Spears and Christina Aquilera at the MTV Video Music Awards. In 2008 she marked her 50th birthday by releasing album Hard Candy and heading on her Sticky And Sweet world tour. In 2015 she very nearly came a cropper during a performance at the Brit Awards as she was pulled backwards off stage when a fellow performer attempted to rip her cloak off, but it got caught around her neck.
In 2016 she headed on her Rebel Heart tour, and in 2017 it was reported by Forbes she is worth an estimated £454million. Happy birthday Madonna! Absolutely no one could forget.
A sources said : ‘There are going to be quite a few celebrations for Madonna’s 60th, but she has said she wants to be surrounded by her family. That is what is most important to her and she thinks her house in Portugal will be the perfect place to host.’
