Madonna upset over grandmother's death, Madonna Grandmother, Elsie Mae Fortin


Pop diva Madonna is emotionally upset following the death of her beloved grandmother Thursday.

The pop legend's maternal grandmother Elsie Mae Fortin passed away at a care home in Bay City, Michigan, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Fortin helped raise the singer after Madonna's own mum lost her battle with breast cancer in 1963.

The star, who flew to Michigan Friday for Fortin's funeral, has refrained from commenting on the tragedy.

A statement from Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg reads: "I'm sorry, but Madonna will not be issuing any statements or conversing with the media regarding her grandmother. It is a totally personal matter to her".
