We all know that Madonna has never been one to shy away from a candid interview or photo shoot and has lately stayed true to form with her latest chat and revealing set of editorial images in Interview magazine.

The 56-year-old pop icon has yet again crossed all the boundaries in the issue, with one of the photos fully showing her bare breasts.

The striking images, taken for the publication by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, show the singer contorting her body into various positions in boudoir-style underwear, and other sexually suggestive garments by Alexander McQueen.

Speaking to interviewer David Blaine, the outspoken star discussed her views on drug use, admitting that it's often a spiritual thing for people. In this regard, Madonna said it is about how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness.

"But there's going to be a short circuit, and that's the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you."

Madonna added that she herself had tried everything once.

"As soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking water to get it out of my system."

Madonna also told the famous interviewer about her deep connections to the concept of mortality.

She stated that she became very obsessed with death and the idea that one may never know when death will arrive.

It is worth noting that her honest admissions coincide with the high-end photo shoot, which portray Madonna as a provocative woman, at one with her body and sexuality.

This is not the first time Madonna proudly displays her figure; she previously allowed herself to be photographed topless and even in the nude.

Madonna famously posed for several nude photos in 1977 (at the age of 18), and the images were later at the center of a legal battle in 1985 when both Penthouse and Playboy attempted to print them.

She also posed naked for three photographers between 1978 and 1980.

Madonna recently hit the news for her visit to Malawi along with her adopted children Mercy James and David Banda during which she was appointed Malawi’s Goodwill Ambassador for Child Welfare.

As a woman who has been heavily focused on her career for the past three decades plus, she was asked by her interviewer about the most important profession in the world.

'Prostitution, of course,' she revealed.
