Yusuf to tour Europe for the first time in decades
Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, will embark on his first European tour since playing the continent in 1976.
Yusuf, who has performed in the U.S., U.K., Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand since the 2009 release of his album "Roadsinger," starts the 10-city tour in Denmark on May 7.
In November to Australia, Yusuf engaged in discussions regarding the production of the musical "Moonshadow" that features music he released as Cat Stevens ("Father and Son," "Remember the days of the Old Schoolyard," etc.) in addition to a new score. He performed music from show during his tour of Australia and New Zealand in June.
He last visited Europe while on the Majikat Earth Tour. Tickets are going on sale this week.
