On the heels of the announcement of his memoir, Cat on the Road to Findout, Yusuf /Cat Stevens has revealed that he will be hitting the road on a book tour.
The tour begins in Philadelphia on Oct. 2 and will make stops in Boston, Toronto, New York, and other great cities. There is a Chicago event scheduled to take place at The Chicago Theatre on Oct. 14 and the North American leg of the tour will conclude in Los Angeles on Oct. 21.
Along with engaging in conversation about his new memoir, Stevens will also perform unplugged versions of songs that have defined generations. Tickets for these events go on sale to the general public beginning on Friday, May 23 at 10 a.m. local time.
“Having passed through the exhaustingly complex maze of everyday material life, ascending the dizzying heights of wealth, recognition, and artistic achievements, I think I’ve got a few things to share. Keeping an open mind was part of the nature I instinctively maintained as a creative songwriter. Nothing was off-bounds. Music was a way of discovering my purpose within the universe. I just kept on exploring, reading, and learning more, ignoring myths and warnings and crossing dangerous-looking bridges into the vast ranges of philosophies and through the veils of the spiritual unknown,” Stevens said in a statement. “Now I have written a book which explains what I’ve learned and the stories along the way. That doesn’t make me a teacher, but more of a potential specimen for those who are searching and pursuing happiness on all sides of the divide. Believe me, folks, it’s out there!”
