Pop icon Madonna has opened up to The New York Times Magazine about forging ahead with her music career as a 60-year-old woman, posing in a photo-shoot that sees her revisit a series of iconic images of herself.

As well as proving that beauty has no age limit, the star, whose new album Madam X is released next week, shared the devastation she felt when her last album, Rebel Heart, was leaked in 2015.

“There are no words to describe how devastated I was...," she said.

"It took me a while to recover, and put such a bad taste in my mouth I wasn’t really interested in making music.”
The star, who performed at Eurovision earlier this month, also revealed her experiences with shamed movie executive Harvey Weinstein.

“Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together,” Madonna told NYT Magazine. “He was married at the time, and I certainly wasn’t interested.”

“So when it happened, I was really like, ‘Finally,’” she said of the Time's Up and Me Too movements.

“I wasn’t cheering from the rafters because I’m never going to cheer for someone’s demise. I don’t think that’s good karma anyway.”
