Pop diva Madonna upset over grandmother`s death

London: 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 a website. 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". IANS
