Global R&B sensation, Sade is launching her highly anticipated summer tour soon, with stops on August 19 & 20th in Los Angeles, CA at the Staples Center; and August 30th in Anaheim, CA at the Honda Center. The Nigerian born music artist announced today that fellow R&B crooner, John Legend, would accompany her for every date of her North American tour. The last time Sade toured in the US was over a decade ago but her career spans nearly a quarter century.
Sade is nominated for two Grammy Awards this year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their hit “Babyfather” and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Soldier of Love,” both from their critically acclaimed new album, SOLDIER OF LOVE. Selling over a million copies to-date, SOLDIER OF LOVE spent three weeks in the number one spot taking its rightful place among the collection of iconic Sade albums. Sade is also nominated for four NAACP Image Awards, Outstanding Music Video (“Soldier of Love”), Outstanding Song (“Soldier of Love”), Outstanding Album (Soldier of Love) and Outstanding Female Artist.
John Legend, a six-time Grammy Award winner, is nominated for five additional awards at this weekend’s telecast on February 13th for his work with the Roots on WAKE UP!, including BestR&B Album, Best R&B Song (“Shine”), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (“Hang On In There”), Best R&B Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocals (“Shine”), and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (“Hang On In There”).
