Madonna's daughter Mercy James celebrates her 18th birthday today and her superstar mom shared a beautiful tribute to her on Instagram.
Quebec fans were able to see Mercy James play the piano beautifully at two of her mother Madonna's performances in Montreal last Thursday and Saturday night.
The one whose mentor and piano teacher is Montreal pianist Ric'key Pageot inspired her famous mother to write a long birthday and thank you message.

“Great Chfifundo James! Beautiful African Queen! You were always the quiet one. The sweet, the shy and the stoic. While all my other children were screaming for attention, you hid under your hoodie, never wanting to attract attention. Always humble and kind,” the 65-year-old singer wrote.
Madonna says she is amazed at the person Mercy James has become; a young woman “posing and radiant, a true artist.”
The proud mother did not fail to highlight the piano talent of her daughter, who was born in Malawi in 2006.
“The hand that you once held in your mouth as a child now has a magical effect when you play the piano. Whether Erik Satie or Chilly Gonzales. “It is a great pleasure to hear you play Chopin with such confidence every night in my show,” she notes.

Comparing her daughter to a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly, Madonna assures that nothing gives her more joy than watching her grow and looking at life through her eyes.
She also praises the gentleness with which Mercy James cares for her younger sisters.
“You truly are a miracle,” writes the Madonna, adding that although they both hate seafood, “the world is an oyster, waiting for you to devour it whole!”
