It’s hard to believe that one of the smoothest voices to ever hit the stage, soulful singer Sade, could ever be nervous. After all, she’s performed before tens of thousands of sold-out crowds, sold millions of records and has a cult following of loyal fans.

But the 56-year-old singer was nervous. And still does get nervous. each time she hits the stage.

“It was the chaos of getting ready psychologically to go out there,” Sade said in an interview about what it takes mentally to get ready for a show.

“I was so stressed. … That impression that you give onstage is what people go away with… I had to get it right.”

As the leader of the veteran group, she and her band mates do have a lot to live up to: platinum-selling albums and singles such as “Sweetest Taboo,” “Is It A Crime,” and “Soldier of Love,” as well as Grammy-winning albums and a slew of successful tours.
