Cat On The Road To Findout

<p>In the whirlwind of 1960s London, Cat Stevens rose to fame almost overnight. Sharing stages with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, he became a household name with pop hits like 'Matthew and Son' and 'The First Cut Is the Deepest'.<br>A near-fatal bout of tuberculosis in his early twenties became a turning point, propelling him into a lifelong quest for meaning. Emerging from illness with a new sense of purpose, he evolved into one of the defining singer-songwriter troubadours of the 1970s. Heartfelt songs like 'Wild World', 'Father and Son' and 'Peace Train' made him a generational voice in the quest for peace, ecological consciousness and global change.<br>Then, at the peak of his fame, another brush with death - a near-drowning - led him to a massive transformative commitment to the Omniscient Power which miraculously saved him. After being gifted a copy of the Qur'an, he embraced Islam in 1977, then walked away from music, becoming Yusuf Islam, and dedicating his life to faith, family and humanitarian work.<br><i>Cat on the Road to Findout</i> is the uncensored story behind the headlines. Told in Yusuf's own words and through hand-drawn illustrations, with raw honesty and poetic insight, he reflects on his triumphs and trials - finally shedding light on all those hidden 'in-betweens'.</p>
