Madonna has gone back in time to celebrate the birthday of her son Rocco.
The Back That Up To the Beat singer took to Instagram to post a touching video montage in honour of her oldest son, who turned 23.
The touching video, set to the Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun, featured footage from when he was a baby as well as previously unseen images from family vacations.
‘Happy Birthday Dearest Rocco. From the day you were conceived, Life with You Has been an adventure,’ the proud mom, 64, wrote alongside the upload.
‘From Your Pre Mature Birth to your love of Skate Boarding, Dirt Bikes. Break Dancing, Parkour, Graffiti and all Adrenaline Provoking activities!
‘You have made me worry – possibly more than any other person on the planet. But You have taken the road less traveled by and that will make all the difference!

‘Nothing gives me more Joy then to watch you grow as an artist!’
She added: ‘To quote your favorite painter Lucian Freud – “What do I ask of a painting? I ask it to astonish, disturb, seduce, convince!” Keep Walking Down Your Own Road. I’m so proud of you!’
Madonna is the mother of Lourdes, David, Mercy, Stella, and Estere, as well as Rocco, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
The family celebrations follow a difficult few months for the Like A Virgin singer, who had a health scare.
She made news after being found comatose in the hospital at the end of June.
Madge’s family was said to be ‘thinking the worst’ at the time, following reports that she was ‘vomiting uncontrollably’ – medics eventually confirmed that she had caught a dangerous bacterial illness.
Madonna uploaded photos of herself cuddling up with Lourdes and David on Instagram a month after she came home from the facility, stating that she was “fortunate to be alive.”
‘Love from family and friends is the best Medicine. One month out of the hospital and I can reflect,’ she wrote. ‘As a Mother you can really get caught up In the needs Of your children and the seemingly endless giving.
‘But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me. I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference. So did the love and support from my friends.
‘Thank you to all my angels who protected me and let me Stay to finish doing my work!’
