Sade concert chronology

Promise Tour was the second concert tour by British band Sade that lasted for eight months. Visiting the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia the tour supported the band's second studio album, Promise.[1] During the tour, rumours of strange behaviour began to circulate about the lead singer Adu.[2] The last three dates of the tour were cancelled due to the critical illness of a band member's mother.[3]
