On August 1 2020, Madonna paid tribute to Alan Parker (he died on July 31, 2020):
I was so sad to hear about the passing of Alan Parker. One of the greatest directors I’ve ever worked with—on the film Evita. He taught me so much, believed in me, pushed me to my limits and made an incredible film! Thank you! 📽♥️ -Madonna

That was a grateful and brilliant tribute Madonna gave Alan Parker. For just a moment there, he was Madonna’s Best Friend. Evita is my favorite movie of all time!
