Madonna dedicates a tearful song to Rocco amid fear she's lost her son.

Madonna gave an emotional tribute to her son during a performance in Auckland, New Zealand on Friday night.  The iconic singer has been dealing with an ongoing dispute with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie over the custody of their son Rocco.

TMZ reports that the 57-year-old singer ‘broke down’ on stage as she dedicated La Vie en Rose to her 15-year-old boy.

The video footage shows Madge speaking to the audience, “It’s true there is no love stronger than a mother for her son… And if I if I talk about it too much I may cry.”

“I’d like to dedicate this song to him, it’s a love song for a man,” she said before choking up. “I hope he hears this somewhere. I hope he knows how much I miss him.”

Rocco has previously denied a court order to return to his mother for Christmas.

TMZ  reported the ever elusive ‘source’ saying, “[He] was miserable being carted around the world by his mum…Rocco told his dad he couldn’t handle it anymore. He couldn’t take the traveling and the fights.”

The teenager also reportedly told Richie that Madonna treats him, “more like a trophy than a son”.

Last week a judge urged the pair to reach an ‘amicable resolution’.

The Mirror reports that the judge described the dispute as “highly unfortunate and deeply regrettable.”

I miss this boy so full of life so full@of@love????! I hope we see that Leo Sun soon. The light is blinding!

“Unfortunately Rocco will have to experience additional emotional upset,” Mr. Justice MacDonald said.

Madonna has requested for legal proceedings launched in England to be ended so that the case can be settled in a New York court. During a hearing in new York on Wednesday, it was decided that Rocco should remain with his father in London for the time being, with the next hearing to be held in June.

Yet The Daily Mail reports that Madonna told friends she has ‘lost the battle’ after admitting Rocco does not want to live with her and is said to be  ‘utterly bereft’.

“The fact is Madonna has now accepted Rocco isn’t coming home and that his home is now with his dad. Rocco wants to be with his dad but she won’t give up being his mother,” a friend told the publication.

“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,” they added.
