Sienna Spiro Covers Sade At Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2026

A couple months ago, Sienna Spiro was listening to Sade while getting ready for fashion week, and last night she sang one of the legendary band's songs at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Spiro took the stage to sing the iconic, TikTok- beloved 1984 hit "Smooth Operator." Andra Day delivered the induction speech.

The soulful sophisti-pop trailblazers Sade — composed of members Sade Adu, Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman and Andrew Hale — were not there to witness the performance. Earlier this week the band shared the news that they would not be attending the event, but that they do not take the recognition for granted. It was not a shock. "Sade show up to nothing, man," said Method Man of fellow 2026 inductees Wu-Tang Clan the other day. "You ever seen a Sade interview?"

This year's performers and presenters were all a surprise and the event did not livestream. It will air on ABC on Dec. 8, then stream on Disney+. However, there was an audience in LA's Peacock Theater, so you can watch some video below.
