Cat Stevens aka Yusuf To Tour Australia

Cat Stevens aka Yusuf will return to Australia in November for ‘A Cat’s Attic Peace Train Tour’ to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his first hit ‘Matthew & Son’.

Steven Demetre Georgiou became Cat Stevens for his first records. His debut album ‘Matthew & Son’ in 1967 was a Top 10 album in the UK and delivered his first hit song with the title track.

By the start of the 1970s, Cat Stevens developed to become one of the greatest songwriters of the decade starting with ‘Lady D’Arbanville’, a song about his former girlfriend Patti D’Arbanville, the actress discovered by Andy Warhol who cast her in his movie ‘Flesh’ when she was 16 years old.

That same year Cat Stevens released ‘Tea For The Tillerman’, still an all-time classic. That album featured many of what became his classics ‘Wild World’, ‘Where Do The Children Play’ and ‘Father and Son’.

Stevens then had a run of globally successful albums. The next record ‘Teaser and the Firecat’ featured ‘Moonshadow’, ‘Peace Train’ and ‘Morning Has Broken’.

The sixth album ‘Catch Bull At Four’ spent six weeks at number one in the USA.
