Concert tours are often given by performers within a short time after releasing a new album.There is a short window of opportunity for this to happenin order to reap large financial benefits and to further the performers popularity.There are some pit falls in this movement : there is a large capital outlay,the performer may get unfavorable reviews,the turn out may be less than maximum, tours are quite a labor intensive effort,the entire tour may be a diaster from day one and the performer may emerge in the red.

However, Sade is an artiste not a performer,a chanteuse of the highest order.....Alas, she is also An English Lady she is Pound wise and her objective creativity has enabled her to recognise that there are Pirates outwith these individuals are able to steal her intellectual property and in the end reproduce it and sell it in lessor developed countries and elsewhere without the artiste permission or knowledge in many cases benefiting more than the artiste___(Raskols) .

Sade has circumvented this by doing, promotional performances on the networks in the USA ,these promotional appearences are able to spread the word about the release of her new album in an instance blanketing America from sea to shining sea.The Letterman Show,J . Lenos Show, Dancing With The Stars gave Shade prime time exposure along with a musical presentation from her Album(America and Canada are major markets)...........exposure occurred in both markets simultaneously.
At this point It may be unnecessary for Sade to give an extensive tour she has already done it electronically in a short time...this may be the wave of the future and may totally trash those extensive tours......there is one popular performer on tour now getting less than complimentary reviews
