Cat Stevens will donate over $1 million to charities around the world from his ‘A Cat’s Attic – Peace Train Tour’ with a number of Australian charities becoming beneficiaries.

Australian priorities are ‘Rural Aid Australia’ assisting drought-afflicted farmers, the ‘Gallipoli Home Care Centre’ helping the elderly and cancer sufferers through the ‘Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre’

Others are Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Addison Road Community Centre Organisation and Concern Worldwide.

In a statement Yusuf said, “I believe that concerts are positive opportunities to receive as well as to give back, making people happy is what I love to do.”

Cat Stevens toured Australia and New Zealand in 2017 for Paul Dainty. Cat Stevens played nine shows for Dainty on the world tour.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
