Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> might not say much outside her music but she\u2019ll never pass up an opportunity to gush about Sade, having shouted her out in a Harper\u2019s Bazaar interview<\/a> and posting a handwritten letter about how much the singer has meant to her. \u201cFor years, I’ve turned to Sade for inspiration,\u201d Bey wrote on her website in 2012. \u201cI cannot even begin to count the nights, days, hard times\u2014when I need her\u2014she is there, to inspire me, and brighten me. Her music has been a true friend, as all true music should be.\u201d<\/p>\n For her next Sade tribute? Recreating the 1992 Love Deluxe<\/a><\/em> cover, in a new photo shoot and (likely emailed) interview in i-D Magazine<\/a>. Alas, the Bey Q&A doesn\u2019t mention Sade herself\u2014it\u2019s largely about her hair product line C\u00e9cred\u2014but it does include another homage, of Diana Ross\u2019 Forever<\/em> boxset art. You can check that one out over on i-D<\/a>. Sade is set to be inducted into\u2014but not appear at<\/a>\u2014the Rock Hall on November 14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
