Mamma Mia! Madonna Poses Topless At 56

Madonna poses in a deconstructed bra top and corset with stockings and suspenders in Interview magazine, fully revealing her breasts    

Madonna has given us an endless supply of shocking moments since she first romped into the pop music scene back in the 80s. The Pop legend has proved that she can continue to shock by posing topless at 56.

She sent Twitter into meltdown when she posed TOPLESS in a sizzling shoot for Interview Magazine this week alongside a very controversial chat where she talked about drugs and admitted to trying "everything once".

The raunchy magazine pictures saw her pose in corsets, stockings and suspenders - but it's certainly not the first time good ol' Madge has got people talking.

The striking images, taken for the publication by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, show the singer contorting her body into various positions in boudoir-style underwear, basques and other sexually suggestive garments by Alexander McQueen.

Speaking to interviewer David Blaine for the magazine's 'Art issue', the outspoken star discussed her views on drug use, admitting that it's often a spiritual thing for people.

'It's about how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness,' she said.

'I keep saying 'Plugging into the matrix.' If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God.

'But there's going to be a short circuit, and that's the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you.'

She added that she herself had dabbled over the years: 'I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system.

'As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, Okay, I'm done now.'

Madonna also told her famous interviewer about her deep connections to the concept of mortality.

'I became very obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life,' she admitted.

 

No fear: The star even posed with a snake above her head, as she revealed her slender legs in lilac stockings    

And it's not the first time she's proudly displayed her figure: the Like A Virgin hitmaker has allowed herself to be photographed topless - and even in the nude - before.

Madonna famously posed for several nude photos for Herman Kulkens back in 1977 at the age of 18, and the images later were at the centre of a legal battle in 1985 when both Penthouse and Playboy attempted to print them.

She also posed naked for three photographers between 1978 and 1980.

She's known for her ability to pull any pose - and shock with it - as well as her chart-topping ways and philanthropic efforts
