Sade is wonderful. I love her music and we have every CD. We also saw the lover's Rock Tour. My husband's boss gave us some company tickets - up close!!! It still is the best concert I have ever been to in my life. If she tours again I'm there in a heartbeat!!!

She received her first Brit Award a quarter of a century ago, lives modestly in Gloucestershire and says Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards is regarded as more of a star in her local village.
But Eighties style icon Sade, 51, is back on top of the music world again after her new album went straight to the top of the U.S. album charts, it was confirmed last night.
The singer, full name Sade Adu, saw her latest album Soldier Of Love - her first release in almost 10 years sell more than 501,000 copies in the U.S. last week giving it the coveted No1 spot across the Atlantic.

It is the stars second album to make it to No1 in America 24 years after her album Promise reached the top spot there. The new album has also gone to No1 in Canada, France and Switzerland and is No4 in the UK chart.

The astonishing success marks an incredible comeback for the singer.
Speaking early today after this years Brit Awards, one music industry executive told of the industrys surprise at Sades renewed success.
He said: It really is a quite extraordinary comeback.
Most British artists strive for success across the Atlantic and never achieve it. Just look at Robbie Williams.
But Sade has done it seemingly effortlessly.
Everyone in the business knew that Sade is a talent with longevity but even we have been taken aback by the extent of her success with this new album.
It is, indeed, a remarkable come back for Miss Adu, who is now 51, and lives simply in a modest cottage in the market town of Stroud.
The singer first found fame in 1984 with her album Diamond Life, which featured the hits Your Love Is King and Smooth Operator, and received the Brit Award for Best Album the following year.
She also appeared in the Band Aid song, Do They Know Its Christmas? and performed at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium.
But as the Eighties came to an end, she drifted out of the limelight. And she remains a retiring figure.
Sade who is estimated to be worth £30million - has only toured once in the past 14 years and her friends have even nicknamed her Howie, after the legendary recluse Howard Hughes.
Surprisingly, considering her huge fame in the U.S., Sade has stayed in the UK and currently splits her time between a spacious Georgian house in North London and her small house in Gloucestershire.

The star - who was born in Nigeria to an English district nurse mother and Nigerian academic father before moving to England as a child - keeps the house in the capital largely for business meetings.
Instead, she spends most of her time in the countryside with her daughter Ila and her partner Ian Watts, a former Royal Marine who she has been dating for the past four years. Mr Watts 18-year-old son Jack also shares the house with them.
Her marriage to Spanish film director Carlos Pliego ended in 1995 because, as she put it recently, he found it hard to share me with the world following her long absence during a U.S. tour.
Ila is the result of a subsequent relationship with a Jamaican musician.
Sade met Mr Watts after moving to the West Country and believes this relationship will last.
She said recently: Ian was a Royal Marine, then a fireman, then a Cambridge graduate in chemistry.
I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile it didnt bother me if he was an aristocrat or a thug as long as he was a good guy. Ive ended up with an educated thug.
Ian is Ilas dad, really, He does all the things a dad would do and she really looks up to him. I feel like Ive won the lottery, finally.
But despite her renewed success, Sade insists that in Stroud - at least - fellow resident, British Olympic failure Eddie The Eagle Edwards, remains more of a celebrity.
She said: Theyre more interested in Eddie The Eagle. Hes a bigger a star in those parts than I am.
