What happened to Sade and the band?
They had 3 big hits then disappeared.
Saw them at The Pink Coconut Club back then... Striking Egyptian looks.
I heard she retired to the English countryside and rennovated a cottage in Gloucestershire.
Last studio lp was 2010 but she has done some performances and events since then.
From Wiki
n March 2018, she (and the reunited band that also bears her name) released the acoustic ballad "Flower of the Universe" for the soundtrack to the Disney film A Wrinkle in Time. About asking Sade to contribute to the album, director Ava DuVernay wrote "I never thought she'd say yes, but asked anyway."[72] Later that year, Sade released "The Big Unknown" for the soundtrack to the 20th Century Fox film Widows. That film's director, Steve McQueen stated that Sade agreed to write the song for the film, because "the original series of Widows had deeply resonated with her."[73] The successor to Soldier of Love is in the works.[74] The band were the first to record their seventh album at the rebuilt Miraval Studios, where they previously recorded Promise and Stronger Than Pride
