The grief over the death of Barby Kelly († 45) was huge within the Kelly Family.
Pop star Joey Kelly commemorated his deceased sister for her birthday.
Cologne – On April 28, 2022, Barby Kelly († 45) would actually have been 47 years old, but last year the Kelly family sister died surprisingly just 13 days before her birthday from a pulmonary embolism.
Of course, her siblings have not forgotten the singer, who has recently been very withdrawn.
After the family members had already thought of the deceased on April 15, the anniversary of her death, they congratulated her posthumously on her day of honor – Joey Kelly (49) revealed that she had been her "favorite brother"!

The Kelly Family sticks together - even after death: "We all miss Barby," Patricia Kelly recently thought of her sister when the anniversary of her death came for the first time.
Well, not even two weeks later, the musician, who died far too early, should have celebrated her birthday.
At least her siblings have by no means forgotten this despite the death drama.
"Today is Barby's birthday. I miss you," her older brother Joey Kelly wrote on Instagram, along with a series of pictures showing the Kelly Family celebrity on stage at a young age. The musician and the 49-year-old seem to have had an intimate relationship, as the extreme athlete revealed in his post: "I'm proud that you told me I was your favorite brother."

Other members of the Kelly Family also commemorated Barby, including Patricia Kelly (52), who shared a clip via Instagram in which she built a shrine in honor of the folk, pop and pop singer.
The 52-year-old said she was confident Barby would "hear every prayer for her" - what a lovely gesture from Patrica and Joey Kelly!
Together, the siblings are currently shooting an RTL2 documentary about the extended musical family, in which the memory of Barby Kelly should also be honored.
Recently there was even a big reunion during the shooting: Patricia Kelly met the former Kelly Family bodyguard and promptly challenged him to a funny mock fight.
