MADONNA

Much more than just a glamorous pop star, Madonna is an icon of our times, and one who has continued to reinvent both herself and the very nature of celebrity. This book celebrates the highlights of her life and three-decade career, her record-breaking run of hit recordings, movie roles, and some of the highest grossing concert tours of all time. Over 100 photos capture her changing styles and looks, while detailed commentary explores every album, tour, music video, and more. Sidebars focus on the many controversies she has been embroiled in, including her frequent run-ins with the Catholic Church.
