In the Instagram cover photo of Madonna from October, she's wearing a black leather outfit adorned with silver chains, an assortment of jewelry, a silver buckle ensemble, black lace gloves, and white wraparound sunglasses.
Around the same time, Madonna confessed 'writing my script is the most draining, challenging experience I've ever had' and that its been 'kind of like psychotherapy in a way, because I have to remember every detail from my childhood till now.'
Burning Up is off the Detroit native's self-titled debut album (1983). To promote the album, Madonna performed one-off gigs in clubs and on television shows in the U.S. and UK throughout 1983 and 1984, and was followed up by The Virgin Tour in 1985.
Over the course of the decades that have since followed, Madonna has gone on to transcend pop music, and the Queen of Pop moniker, to become one of the most influential figures in popular culture.
