About

Cat Stevens rose to fame in the swinging '60s with chart-topping pop hits such as "Matthew and Son" and "The First Cut Is the Deepest." His early career was interrupted by a near-fatal battle with tuberculosis - a turning point that ignited his quest for peace and understanding. Emerging from this experience, he rapidly rose to become one of the most prolific singer/songwriter icons of the '70s, captivating the world with soul-stirring anthems such as "Wild World," "Father and Son," "Peace Train," and "Morning Has Broken." His classic albums Mona Bone Jakon, Tea for the Tillerman, and Teaser and the Firecat have earned him a rightful place in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Following another dangerous encounter with fate and a near-drowning experience in 1975, Cat's life took a spiritual turn as he converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam. Leaving the music industry behind, Yusuf dedicated his life to God, family, and humanitarian work, for which he received numerous prestigious international honors, including the World Award for "humanitarian relief work helping children and victims of war" and the Man of Peace Award, voted for by The Nobel Peace Laureates.

The latest chapter is Yusuf's return to music, through which he has re-joined his past and present lives. Now known as Yusuf/Cat Stevens - a name that represents the synergy between the two key periods of his existence - his inspirational story is one of quest, survival, and redemption. With more than 100 million records sold and billions of streams, his soulful voice and poetic lyrics continue to inspire, now intertwined with a life of activism and altruism. As a campaigner for faith education, ecological consciousness, and humanitarian work, Yusuf has become a global advocate for peace and coexistence.

  • The Triumphant Return of Cat Stevens

    by Bobthepoet on 12/15/14The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    Having never had the opportunity to see Cat Stevens live in his heyday, I have, in effect, been waiting almost 45 years for this show. I can honestly say that it was well worth the wait; it actually exceeded my admittedly very high expectations. Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf, may look older, but he was in fine voice throughout, and very energetic. He played two sets, each exactly an hour long. The set list encompassed the whole of his legendary career, including two songs from the early albums he recorded as a teenage Pop star in swinging London during the late 1960s. Of course, all of his seventies folk classics were present too, as were several blistering Blues numbers from his excellent now album, "Tell 'Em I'm Gone." The Peace Train theme was well-represented by a beautiful stage set representing an old-time railway station. There were three encores, the final one being a gorgeous rendition of "Morning Has Broken," the first song of his that I ever heard. I was in heaven all night long; I felt as though I were 17 again. This wonderful show really was the fullfillment of a life-long dream. On the way out, an elevator operator at the Masonic Auditorium asked me, "Did he do the song about his dog?" He didn't, but this is a minor quibble after such a fantastic show.

  • wonderful!

    so incredible to see him live-he did lots of old songs, and a few new ones-which sounded much better live than on the new cd. So much energy in the crowd, and he sounded great.

  • Yusuf Cat Stevens, incredible

    by Spbatchan on 12/15/14The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    An amazing night. One of the top five concerts for us ever. Only hope based on the success of this mini tour he decides to come back soon!

  • by Anonymous on 12/15/14The Masonic - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    It was an amazing show. Cat Stevens sounded very good, and he played (almost) ALL his old songs.

  • Yusuf/cat Stevens was amazing

    by KCKatt on 12/14/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    He sounded wonderful, I could have stayed all night. Security getting in was a little over the top but worth it.

  • finally got to see Cat Stevens!!

    by wayner7 on 12/13/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Been wishing I had gone to one of his concerts when I had a chance since the1970's and finally my chance has arrived! It was well worth the wait! Yusuf / Cat Steven's voice is as strong and clear as it was 40+ years ago (age has not withered him a bit)! He sang all of my favourites and some great new ones I haven't yet heard! I was particularly impressed with his kind, soft-spoken nature and his gentle sense of humour. This was truly an enjoyable and unforgettable concert!

  • Yusaf is beyond amazing and timeless

    by hollygef on 12/13/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Every generation since he came into popular music has agreed his music is phenomenal. He continues to grow his body of work with new songs of equal validity and quality. Yusaf's performance, as well as his band, was unreal--he was better than I could have imagined. His boyish shyness was practically undetectable as he has become a man of great spiritual strength and fortitude. He threaded his 23 songs with his standard hits and B-sides that only his most devoted fans would recognize (I being one of them). I haven't had a long time to listen to his new album, but hearing many of the songs performed live compels me to listen to his new stuff often and be "inspired".

  • Cat Stevens was beyond expectations

    by Sookie51 on 12/13/14Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    I,m glad he made a come back. Was not able to get tickets in the seventies. I went with my sister it meant so much more to us to be there. Our brother pasted away at an early age cat Stevens was his favorite. It's to long a story of why it was so special to us.

  • Yusuf/Cat Stevens a lifetime event

    by TonyBaranek on 12/13/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Hard to tell Yusuf/Cat had been away from the stage for nearly 40 years. His voice sounded fantastic, his warmth could be felt by us all the way in the upper balcony. Truly one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.

  • Cat Stevens was Fantastic!!

    by Anonymous on 12/13/14Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Cat Stevens was amazing! He sang as well as he did in the 70"s. I saw him in 1976 and his voice/the show was just as good!! Totally worth the trip to Boston and the ticket price!! Glad I got to share this memory with my son in honor of his father who loved Cat Stevens' music and introduced him to our son.

  • by KnicksFan2012 on 12/13/14Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Never imagined getting to see Cat Stevens perform live. His sound has changed little after leaving music for so many years.

  • Yusuf was amazing !!!

    by vevemark on 12/13/14Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    After not touring for 30 years it was amazing how great this concert was. Not only was all of his past hits played but he played everything from his great new album. Yusuf even played his Harold and Maude Song !!! I wish people in Boston did not drink to the point of being stupid

  • Yusuf/Cat Stevens was FANTASTIC!

    by BillyG9 on 12/13/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I followed the Grateful Dead, and have been to numerous other shows such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and many more. This was by far the best show I have ever seen followed by the dead (Sorry Jerry). It was true harmony and magical the entire time.

  • Cat Stevens is the best

    by maverickzhn on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    It was a wonderful experience! Cat Stevens is just exceptional. Great songs, great sound, He played the piano too. His new songs are good, however I love the old ones. Thanks.

  • Once-in-a-lifetime~

    by WhyRallthenicknamestaken on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    AWESOME, once-in-a-lifetime, still can't believe I got to attend this show!!!

  • A Dream Come True

    by TwelveString on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    A concert I never thought I'd see became reality. Yusuf sounds the same as he did in his Cat days, plays with the same emotion and care, but with a serenity that has come with time. One of the most humble people I've ever seen, he had the entire crowd captivated from the moment he stepped on the stage. Words are not enough to explain the feelings of elation and happiness that this man gave us, and all I can say to Yusuf is thank you for so many years of filling my life with music, and giving us a chance to see you perform in person!

  • YUSUF/CAT Stevens hasn't missed a beat!

    by pillyp on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I was worried that 3 decades away from music may have mellowed him out a bit too much. On the contrary. CAT was eager to play and eager to satisfy the crowd. His voice was in perfect pitch and not scratchy or worn sounding.I saw him back in 1974, and he was as good as he was back then. Played a very good selection of 29 old songs, new songs, and covers. Many of the newer songs are bluesy, rock'n songs....a very nice surprise. Check out the song list on the web. Was quite a fun night. Can't wait to see him again. Oh yeah...he has one heck of a supporting band with him. These guys can rock. Tight. Nice!

  • Welcome Back, Cat Stevens!

    by Catmandan on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Brilliant! Amazing! Best sounding concert, EVER! Cat sounds the same, but better. The show was WAY more than I anticipated. Thank you. Yusuf

  • Yusuf/Cat Stevens forever young and inspirational!

    by Songwoman on 12/12/14The Chicago Theatre - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The voice, the musicianship, the lyrics are crafted like no one else. This body of work is sublime.
