Madonna can’t hide Rocco pain

MADONNA broke down in tears on stage after paying tribute to her estranged son Rocco.

The Queen of Pop has conceded defeat to ex- husband Guy Ritchie after a bitter custody battle.

Madonna, 57, below, has told friends she has “lost the battle” after admitting Rocco, 15, does not want to live with her.

She could not hide her heartbreak as she prepared for a sad Mother’s Day. Madonna, on tour in New Zealand, dedicated the song La Vie en Rose to her son back in London and spoke of her heartache.

On Friday she told an Auckland audience: “There is no love stronger than a mother’s for her son and if I talk about him too much I might cry but I’d like to dedicate this song to him.”

She was applauded before adding: “I hope he hears this. I hope he knows how much I miss him.”

Rocco has been living with Ritchie, 47, and second wife model Jacqui Ainsley.
