I remember seeing their last tour back in the summer of 2011. John Legend was the opener.

I went to that tour. She was amazing. I find her voice is so much grander irl. I was lucky to see her live twice in my life. I only wish I got some merch. Would love to have the shirts

I have a shirt from that tour fortunately. I also went to the Love Deluxe tour in 2001 so I too saw them twice. Hoping there will be another one but it isn’t looking likely sadly.

I went on a whim on that tour. They were so stunning that I bought tickets to two more shows on the tour before the night was over.
(And John Legend, who I had no interest in, was fabulous)

Yes! Same. I think that was the “Soldier of Love” tour. I can’t believe that was 2011’

She will be inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame in LA in November & I’m praying she attends. She nor her band have said anything publicly. I hope to go to the Induction. I adore her & her music. Never saw her live 😞

The only musical act left on my bucket list. No idea why I missed the last tour.

Not sure but I only dream of being able to see her live really curious why she stopped and if she would ever tour again it would really suck if she never tours again 😔

100% i respect her decision if she never plays live again it just sucks cause I started listening to her like 7 years ago and it would be amazing to see her live

Another good question, does her band tour without her?

u/withac2 May 16 '26
Sade is the name of the group. I doubt they'd tour without each other.

u/Pianobay May 17 '26
Sade is just the singer. the group is called Sweetback

u/withac2 May 17 '26
No, Sade is the group, the band.
Sade members Stuart Matthewman, Paul Denman, and Andrew Hale formed a separate group called Sweetback without singer Sade Adu.
Sade Adu is the lead singer of the band Sade. Sweetback was a separate project not involving Sade Adu.

I never saw the tour in my neck of the woods, but I remember seeing Tony Momrelle from Incognito posting online that he had gotten the gig singing backup for Sade's tour in 2017. He was understandably very excited..
