Cat Stevens aka Yusuf has announced an Australian tour, to mark 50 years since his first album, 1967’s ‘Matthew and Son’, was released.
This will mark only his third tour of Australia, despite his huge success in the country; his 1972 album Catch Bull At Four spent a remarkable 15 weeks on top of the ARIA charts.
In 1977 he converted to Islam and took the name Yusuf Islam. He released one final album in 1978 under the name Cat Stevens and then retired from popular music for close to three decades, disowning most of his secular music – a stance he has since softened on.
In 2006 he emerged, and released An Other Cup, his first of three albums under the name Yusuf.
