Yusuf to perform live at the Echo Arena in Liverpool

Nov 26 2009 Chester Chronicle

AFTER quite an extraordinary break of 33 years, Yusuf – the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens – strolls back on to the stage and is coming to the Echo Arena Liverpool on December 5.

The legendary singer/songwriter is expected to offer audiences a taste of his timeless hits, like Wild World, Father & Son and First Cut Is The Deepest, as well as music from his highly acclaimed new albums, An Other Cup and Roadsinger.

Expanding the music concert with his return to the acoustic guitar, Yusuf will present a preview of the latest step on his lifelong voyage.

Incorporating an exciting mix of concert and musical storytelling, Yusuf's unique performance will also showcase an exclusive debut of the new musical, Moonshadow.

Yusuf has sold more than 60 million albums since his first hit I Love My Dog while he was still a teenager. Struck down with tuberculosis at the height of his pop success in 1968, he re-emerged in 1970 and followed with Tea For The Tillerman (1970) and Teaser And The Firecat (1971), albums that defined the singer-songwriter genre and inspired a generation.
