Madonna<\/strong><\/a> is no longer hung up on the idea of staying youthful<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Queen of Pop, 67, was the subject of a recent op-ed for The Independent<\/em><\/a> that examined her career in recent years and how she’s essentially grieving her younger years.<\/p>\n The Queen of Pop’s newest album was released on July 3.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Journalist Adam White<\/strong> claimed the “Like a Virgin” crooner is “haunted by death and in mourning for the freedom of her youth.”<\/p>\n Madonna dropped her 15th studio album, Confessions II<\/em>, on Friday, July 3, with White writing her inevitable death “always seemed sort of unfathomable” as the pop star<\/a> often “embodied an indestructibility.”<\/p>\n He also described her new EDM\/dance record<\/a> as “death-tinged,” as it is reminiscent of her New York City clubbing days in the 1970s.<\/p>\n ‘I like this new Madonna. I like that she feels more human than she has in a while,’ a journalist wrote.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n “But Madonna’s age \u2013 and her growing acknowledgement that she’s far closer to the end than the beginning<\/a> \u2013 is rich subject matter, both in how she navigates pop stardom and in how it’s reflected in the music itself,” he penned. “I like this new Madonna. I like that she feels more human than she has in a while. And I like that she seems to be preparing us for the inevitable instead of pretending it’ll never happen \u2013 death comes for us all.”<\/p>\n Fans couldn’t help but give their two cents about White’s article, as they took to the publication’s comments section to share their thoughts about Madonna’s age.<\/a><\/p>\n “Everyone dies and is quickly forgotten. Madonna has a better chance than most at ‘immortality’ through remembrance of her body of work, at least for a couple of decades anyway, after she dies,” one person noted.<\/p>\n Fans loved the idea of Madonna embracing her age.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n “She will not be forgotten as she been a presence in pop music and culture for nearly five decades,” someone else said, with another person writing: “Perhaps she’s realized that it’s finally time to pack it in and quit while she’s ahead.”<\/p>\n Another fan agreed: “I love seeing Madonna as an old woman<\/a>. Not because I want her to sicken and die. I don’t. But because she becomes a better woman and a better artist when she embraces ALL of her humanity.”<\/p>\n ‘She will not be forgotten as she been a presence in pop music and culture for nearly five decades,’ a fan commented.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The “Me Against the Music” singer<\/a> touched upon her own mortality and health during a chat with Interview<\/em><\/a> magazine<\/a> ahead of her new album release earlier this month.<\/p>\n “I’m tired as f—,” Madonna admitted. “I have a bad knee now. I have no cartilage in it, thanks to dancing for so long in high heels and running on pavement and doing Ashtanga yoga. Up until a year ago, I was jumping on trampolines and doing dance cardio and doing a lot of what a doctor would call loading on my joints. Can’t do that any more.”<\/p>\n The Evita<\/em> star has won seven Grammys and two Golden Globes throughout her five-decades-long career, which began with her very first self-titled album in 1983.<\/p>\n Read more at OK!<\/a><\/p>\n Get OK!’s biggest scoops and scandals delivered right to your inbox.
