John Legend joins Sade on her 2011 Tour!

British-Nigerian singer/songwriter Sade will bring the Grammy nominated John Legend along for the ride on the North American portion of her forthcoming 2011 global tour behind last year's "Soldier of Love."

For the first time in nearly a decade, Sade will take on a slew of overseas shows this spring before returning to the States to kick off the outing with Legend June 16 in Baltimore. The Live Nation-produced arena tour will stop by 50 cities, according to a press release.

Sade unveiled "Soldier of Love," the group's sixth studio effort, in February 2010. The album, their first since 2000's "Lovers Rock," became their first to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with sales of 502,000 copies.

Legend most recently released "Wake Up!," a collaborative collection with hip hop outfit The Roots. The self-produced album, which mostly covers '60s and '70s soul music, debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200.

Sade with John Legend will be at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday July 15, 2011.
