Yusuf Islam ( Cat Stevens )

Having sold over 60 million albums worldwide, and with an induction into the Rock Roll Hall of Fame, Cat Stevens has secured his place in music history. At the age of 18, he had his first hit record, going on to achieve the kind of fame and success most can only dream about. He found his spiritual home in 1977 and went on to embrace a life of spirituality and charity, walking away from the music business to marry and raise a family. One of the world’s most famous converts to Islam, Stevens changed his name to Yusuf Islam. His pioneering work in education and humanitarian relief is recognised all over the world and he is also known as a promoter of peace, calling for greater understanding, tolerance and interaction between cultures.
