Several media sources, such as MTV RTL2, have reported that Paddy wants to drop the music business to become a monk.
Paddy is currently taking the advantage of the family's break to deepen his knowledge in philosophy and theology. He has been attending classes in a monastery in South France along with several other monks.
According to Joey (31) the family approves and supports his decision. Joey Kelly to BILD MAGAZINE: "Paddy is very religious, like all of us. He really wants to become a monk. Finally he has found his true happiness. And we accept that."
Is that the end of the Kelly Family? Will Paddy really never sing on stage again? Whatever his decision, we're gonna support him and let him live his life.

Signs of the time - the album

With their first common Hit-single "Du bist nicht allen" the project "Zeichen der Zeit" (signs of the time) took the hearts of the fans in a gentle run and made appetite for more.

Now Patrick Nuo, Xavier Naidoo, Yvonne Catterfeld, Ben, Paddy Kelly, Beatbetrieb and Co. invite on the homonymous album to the search of the sense. Within 18 full personal songs it's not the matter hunting for chart positions. A new generation of musicians will not accept antiquated clich�s but adjourn to the search for god by themselves.

The bulk of revenues will be benefited to the relief organization "World Vision".
