Yusuf / Cat Stevens Postpones North American Book Tour
October1
Yusuf / Cat Stevens has postponed his upcoming North American tour due to visa-related delays. The tour was originally scheduled for October.
In a statement, the singer-songwriter said: “Waiting months for visa approvals, we held out as long as we could. However, at this point, the production logistics necessary for my show cannot be arranged in time. I am really upset, not least for my fans who have bought tickets and made travel plans to see me perform.”
Yusuf added that North American audiences may still have a chance to see the tour at a later date, depending on the approval process. “Those dates would be some time away because of other travel tour plans but, hopefully, fans will be able to hop on the Peace Train route at some time in the future.”
The singer emphasized that the visa issues would not affect the book’s release. “The obvious benefit of it being — books don’t need visas!” he wrote.
Yusuf, who rose to international fame in the 1970s with hits such as Morning Has Broken and Wild World, continues to tour and release music. His career has spanned more than five decades, including his embrace of Islam in the late 1970s and subsequent return to recording and performing in the 2000s.
