To mark her daughter\u00a0Mercy<\/strong>‘s 18th birthday,\u00a0Madonna<\/strong>\u00a0got 20,000 people sing to her. Of course, it helped that she was onstage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden at the time.<\/p>\n

Mercy has been joining Madonna onstage each night during her Celebration tour to play piano as Madonna sings “Bad Girl.” On January 22,\u00a0People<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reports that Madonna led the entire arena in singing “Happy Birthday” to Mercy and then added, “Stand up, stand up beautiful girl. Look at this queen!\u00a0That\u2019s what a beautiful queen looks like!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Instagram, Madonna\u00a0posted a lengthy tribute<\/a>\u00a0to her second oldest daughter, writing, “You were always the quiet one.\u00a0The gentle one. The Shy and Stoic one. While All of my other children were clamoring for attention,\u00a0you were Hiding under your hoodie \u2014 never wanting to draw attention to yourself.”<\/p>\n

She went on to describe Mercy as “always Humble and Kind. Always the first one to say thank you. To clear the table after dinner!\u00a0To Come and Hug me and say how much you appreciate something. And Always the most Responsable [sic].”<\/p>\n

Madonna added, “Beautiful Mercy James. I am really astounded by the woman you have become.\u00a0Poised and radiant. Skilled and Soulful. A True artist. … To hear you play … every night in my show with such confidence is such a thrill … nothing gives me greater pleasure than to watch you grow.\u00a0You really are A wonder.”<\/p>\n

She ended by joking, “Even though we both hate shellfish the world is your Oyster !! She is waiting for you to devour it. To eat it whole!!! To Slay it!!”<\/p>\n

In addition to Mercy, Madonna is mother to\u00a0Lourdes<\/strong>,\u00a0Rocco<\/strong>,\u00a0David<\/strong>\u00a0and twins\u00a0Stella<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Estere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
