Yusuf/Cat Stevens Announces Upcoming Publication Of His Memoir, ‘Cat On The Road To Findout’

On Tuesday (May 13), Yusuf/Cat Stevens announced details of his long-awaited memoir, Cat on the Road to Findout, which is set to be published in the U.K. on September 18 and North America on October 7 via Little, Brown Book Group. “Finally it’s here!” Yusuf wrote on Instagram. “After years of toiling, I’ve completed my book.” The memoir traces Stevens’ life journey from his upbringing in London to his musical career in the Sixties, including his battle with tuberculosis in 1969 and his conversion to Islam in 1978. “I’ve been on an amazing journey, which began in the narrow streets of London, and led me through the most iconic cities, to perform upon the great stage of Western culture, ascending the dizzying heights of wealth, recognition, and artistic pinnacles,” Yusuf said in a statement. In addition to his forthcoming memoir (and an expected book tour), Yusuf will perform alongside fellow music legends Neil Young and Van Morrison at Hyde Park in London on July 11. (Rolling Stone)
