Anthony Ciccone made his way down to Indianapolis with a group of about seven people from Traverse City, Michigan, where he normally resides in a homeless shelter.

Madonna's homeless brother Anthony Ciccone spent Christmas alone and without a care from his famous sister.

The 55-year-old spent the holiday season sleeping on the rough streets of Traverse City, Michigan in sub-zero conditions -- with no invitation from the Material Girl to spend it with her and her family.

In photographs obtained by RadarOnline.com, Anthony looks haggard and his gummy grin reveals his missing teeth as his lifestyle catches up with him.

Madonna's Brother: 'She Was A B*tch Growing Up Just Like She Is Now!'

Saying he has no contact with his sister Madonna or any other member of their family, Anthony Ciccone lives in a homeless encampment in Traverse City, Michigan.

"If I froze to death, my family probably wouldn’t know or care about it for six months," Anthony told the UK's Mail on Sunday in a blistering interview.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Anthony's situation was uncovered earlier this month by a local newspaper investigating the homeless crisis.

He's had a drink and drug problem for at least a couple of decades, and acknowledges that Madonna did pay for rehab for him six years ago. But he wants more from her.

"My family seems to think rehab is some kind of magic panacea for life's ills," he said. Clearly, he disagrees.

Ciccone has been homeless for 18 months, ever since he lost his job at his father's Michigan winery, a business Madonna helped her family open. He last saw his famous sister -- but didn't speak to her --  three years ago when he stood in a crowd in Detroit welcoming their favorite hometown daughter for an event.

‘I’m proud of my sister," Anthony said. "But it’s been a burden, because I can’t be me; I have to be related to a celebrity. People have their ideas and expectations. My sister’s a multimillionaire but she earned it, I have to give her credit for that.

"But you’d think there’d be some more family loyalty, and that’s not the case. Just to communicate would be nice."

Ciccone has no expectations of that happening.

Growing up together, he said, "she was a b*tch, just like she is now.  She remains true to form."

Madonna's brother Anthony Ciccone claims he is homeless and living under a bridge.

Anthony, 55, told the Michigan Messenger that he has been homeless for over a year and fighting for survival on the cold streets of Traverse City, along with 14,000 of other destitute people.

“My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time,”  said Ciccone, who added it annoyed him when people asked how he could come from such a high-profile family and end up sleeping under a bridge.

"You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times — why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I’m homeless on the street?" he responded. "Never say never. This could happen to anybody."
