Sade last toured in 2001 for the LOVERS LIVE Tour, playing to more than 1 million fans during that run, according to a press statement for the group. That trek followed 2000's "Lovers Rock," the fifth studio album for Sade, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Joining Sade on the tour is John Legend, who most recently released "Wake Up!," a collaborative collection with hip hop outfit The Roots. His self-produced album, which mostly covers '60s and '70s soul music, debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200.
Sade released "Soldier of Love" in February this year, and the record instantly rocketed to the top of the charts. By the first week of July, Billboard ranked it as the third best-selling album of 2010 (behind Lady Antebellum and Justin Bieber) with more than 1,200,000 units sold nationally.
