Madonna calls on daughter Lourdes for help healing rift with Rocco
The custody battle for Rocco carries on.
Madonna has reportedly called on her daughter Lourdes in a last ditch attempt to make amends with her estranged son, Rocco.
The ‘Like A Prayer’ singer has not seen her son since last November, after he decided to stay in the care of his father during a visit to London.
The 57-year-old is now in the middle of a very public custody battle over Rocco, with a New York judge stating just last week that he is set to remain with ex-husband Guy Ritchie in London, where he is currently attending school.
As the custody battle goes on, Madge is seemingly suffering from the stress after realising 15-year-old Rocco will not be returning to the family home in the US, and has now called in 19-year-old daughter Lourdes in an attempt act as the mediator between the two.

Reports claim Madonna is hoping Lourdes can persuade Rocco to speak with his mother face to face, despite the custody row with Guy Ritchie.
The news comes just days after Madge broke down on stage in Auckland during a performance on her Rebel Heart tour.
A clearly upset Madonna told the audience “"It's true, there's no love stronger than a mother to her son, and if I talk about him too much, I might cry, but I would like to dedicate this song to him. It's a love song for a man, but I know he'll be one, one day."

Madonna took to Instagram to express her emotions with this heartfelt quote:
One of Madonna’s closest friends claimed “She won’t stop fighting to try to make sure Rocco is kept safe and has what he needs. She can’t understand why it has come to this. Her world has been shattered."
The case is expected to return to court later in the month.
