Alabama's The Bradys call it a day after 26 years

SOUTHERN GOSPEL group The Bradys from Dothan, Alabama have announced they are retiring. Group member Keith Brady recently underwent open heart surgery though he is keen to stress this is not the reason why the group are disbanding. He said, "We felt for over a year now that things were winding down but we never wanted to stop until we were sure in our hearts it was God's timing. After much prayer I feel a release in my spirit that the time is now." The Bradys have been active 26 years and have recorded such albums as 'Here And Now' (1994), 'Taking A Stand'(1999), 'Pictures' (2005) and their last album 'Entirely Possible' (2013).
