Taking to social media under the hashtag
#MadonnaAt60 fans young and old - and some famous in their own
right - sent birthday wishes to the music superstar, known for
repeatedly reinventing herself during her 35-year pop career.
"Happy birthday to Lady @Madonna!!!I'm 14 years old, dancing and
singing in my bedroom and she was just WOW!!! What a force and
an inspiration. Enjoy your day Madonna!!!" singer Kylie Minogue
wrote on Twitter.
Madonna shared pictures of herself adorned in colorful jewelry
whilst in Morocco, with captions reading "BerberQueen" and
"Almost Birthday Selfie".
In one photo, the singer/songwriter, actress, director and
mother of six held up a sign reading "The Queen", writing "In
case someone forgot!" alongside the #birthday hashtag.
To mark her birthday, she last month started a fundraiser in
support of her non-profit organization Raising Malawi aimed at
helping vulnerable children in the southern African country. The
singer has adopted four children from Malawi, including twin
girls last year.
Since her first, eponymous album came out in 1983, Madonna has
sold more than 300 million records, with albums such as "True
Blue", "Like a Prayer" and "Ray of Light" topping music charts
around the world.
"She pioneered the art of reinvention, changing your image with
every song, with every video, which we've come to expect of pop
stars now but at the time was radical," author Matt Cain, who
wrote a novel inspired by the singer, told Reuters.
"And she made some great music, she always has done, which
really made an emotional impact on people."
