Cat on the Road to Findout by Yusuf/Cat Stevens: The star who found enlightenment
Read more on post.
Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, was blooded in Swinging Sixties London but found his voice as a 1970s soft-rock staple. Like Donovan, he trod the hippie trail in search of self-discovery; like James Taylor, he was a strikingly handsome purveyor of AOR standards, tunes such as Matthew & Son, Wild World, Peace Train, Moonshadow, and Father and Son.
For my money, his finest three minutes is The First Cut Is the Deepest, a baroque-pop masterpiece covered to fine effect by Rod Stewart and, later, Sheryl Crow.
He was born Steven Demetre Georgiou, a West End boy, son of a Greek Orthodox Cypriot father and Swedish Baptist mother, and came of age enthralled by the stage-school musical tradition, R&B and psychedelia, by Westside Story, The Beatles and Dylan.
Soon enough Cat scored a record deal and a couple of hits, toured with Hendrix, had a fling with Carly Simon and collaborated with Hal Ashby on Harold & Maude, the cult classic from 1971. All rich material, but it’s poorly utilised here: the subject’s prose can’t make his experiences live, his sentences riddled with adverbs – thankfully, proudly, luckily, sadly, regretfully – exclamation marks and the passive voice. Even the book’s title is garbled: can there be such a thing as an unofficial autobiography?
The most interesting parts of the story are when Cat’s career goes offroad. Early on, at the age of 19, he runs out of hits and is deemed a washout. He coughs up blood; doctors diagnose TB. Weary of the business and suspicious of the press, he remakes himself as a world traveller and a spiritual seeker, reading Rumi, investigating numerology, writing illustrated children’s stories, travelling from Brazil to Australia to Japan.
Then, in 1975, when his brother takes an interest in the Koran, Cat senses an escape from the pop industry’s venality. He visits the Holy Land and begins attending a mosque. On July 4th, 1978, he changes his name, asks his mum to dispense with the liquor in the house, throws out his old drawings, gives away his instruments, marries and becomes a father and human-rights activist.
The most committed writing in Cat on the Road to Findout by Yusuf/ Cat Stevens describes the inner conflict of a young man who has converted to Islam against the backdrop of the Iranian revolution and East-West proxy wars in Afghanistan. Its second act is a travelogue of humanitarian and philanthropic missions, interrupted by controversy over Ayatollah Khomeini’s issuing of a fatwah condemning Salman Rushdie to death over The Satanic Verses.
Yusuf personally writes to Viking, petitioning for the withdrawal of the book. He finds himself caught between secular free-speech advocates and protesters calling for death to blasphemers. At a public talk at Kingston Polytechnic, in London, he’s questioned by an undercover tabloid journalist, and later claims his remarks have been twisted into an appearance of support for the killing of Rushdie.
The prose here is clear and direct, as if Yusuf the writer believes the frivolity of his pop years deserved the least of his literary attentions. His subsequent accounts of peacekeeping sorties during the unrest of the Gulf War era and in Bosnia-Herzegovina are equally satisfying; his account of anti-Muslim racial profiling in the wake of 9/11 even more so. In time, arriving into the certainty of his beliefs, he comes to a rapprochement with music itself and returns to the studio and the stage.
Cat on the Road to Findout is an extraordinary journey, but it might have been better served by the ministrations of a ghostwriter, or a professional biographer. As it is, and contrary to most rock memoirs, this would have been a better book if it had begun at the end of the subject’s musical career.
Peter Murphy is the author of the novels John the Revelator and Shall We Gather at the River (Faber & Faber). His latest release is the album and prose-poem Ghost Voltage (published by Drunk Jack Press)

“Giorgio Armani, Milano, for love’’ at the Brera Art Gallery opens today, mere weeks after the celebrated designer’s death at the age of 91.
Featuring 129 Armani looks from the 1980s through the present day, the exhibition places his creations among celebrated Italian masterpieces by such luminaries as Raphael and Caravaggio.
It is one of a series of Milan Fashion Week events that were planned before Armani’s death, to highlight his transformative influence on the world of fashion.
“From the start, Armani showed absolute rigor but also humility not common to great fashion figures,’’ said the gallery’s director Angelo Crespi. “He always said that he did not want to enter into close dialogue with great masterpieces, like Raphael, Mantegna, Caravaggio and Piero della Francesca.’’
Instead, the exhibition aims to create a symbiosis with the artworks, with the chosen looks reflecting the mood of each room without interrupting the flow of the museum experience – much the way Armani always intended his apparel to enhance and never overwhelm the individual.
A long blue asymmetrical skirt and bodysuit ensemble worn by Juliette Binoche at Cannes in 2016 neatly reflects the blue in Giovanni Bellini’s 1510 portrait “Madonna and Child”; a trio of underlit dresses glow on a wall opposite Raphael’s “The Marriage of the Virgin”; the famed soft-shouldered suit worn by Richard Gere in American Gigolo, arguably the garment that launched Armani to global fame, is set among detached frescoes by Donato Bramante. Every choice in the exhibition underscores the timelessness of Armani’s fashion.
Armani himself makes a cameo, on a t-shirt in the final room, opposite the Brera’s emblematic painting “Il Bacio” by Francesco Hayez.
“When I walk around, I think he would be super proud,’’ said Anoushka Borghesi, Armani’s global communications director.
Armani’s fashion house confirmed a series of events this week that Armani himself had planned to celebrate his 50th anniversary. They include the announcement of an initiative to support education for children in six Southeast Asian, African and South American countries. The project, in conjunction with the Catholic charity Caritas, is named “Mariu’,’’ an affectionate nickname for Armani’s mother.
In a final farewell, the last Giorgio Armani collection signed by the designer will be shown in the Brera Gallery on Sunday, among looks he personally chose to represent his 50-year legacy.
“Giorgio Armani – 50 Years” opened to the public today at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy. The exhibition lasts until 11 January 2026.

If you’re reading this today, Wednesday 24 September 2025 could be the last day before the end of the world as you know it.
If you’re reading this tomorrow, you weren’t blipped out of existence and good luck with all the rebuilding. Please do better.
Confused? We’ve got you covered.
According to the more holy corners of TikTok, it has been prophesized that yesterday – or today, they couldn’t make their minds up on which one, so just go with it – is the day of the Rapture.
For the filthy heathens among you, that’s the long-awaited end-time event when Jesus Christ returns to Earth, resurrects all dead Christian disciples and brings all believers “to meet the Lord in the air.”
It wasn’t yesterday, clearly, so today’s the day… And turn off that R.E.M. song, this is serious.
This all stems from South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela, who claimed that the Rapture will occur on 23 or 24 September 2025. Mhlakela said that this knowledge came directly from a dream he had in 2018, in which Jesus appeared to him. Mhlakela reiterated all of this on 9 September in an interview with CettwinzTV and since then, the prophecy has become a viral sensation on TikTok.
Many individuals on the social media platform have taken this literally and very seriously, with more than 350,000 videos appearing under the hashtag #rapturenow – leading to the trend / popular subsection dubbed ‘RaptureTok’.
Some videos mock the prophecy, but you don’t have to scroll for too long to find those who are completely convinced that it’s happening today.
There’s advice on how to prepare; tips on what to remove from your house should certain objects contain “demonic energy”; and testimonies of people selling their possessions. One man, who goes by the name Tilahun on TikTok, shared a video last month, in which he said he was selling his car in preparation for the big day. “Car is gone just like the Brides of Christ will be in September,” he said.
One woman in North Carolina was live recording yesterday from the Blue Ridge Mountains, fervently keeping an eye on any holy activity in the sky. Another claimed that her 3-year-old started speaking in Hebrew, thereby confirming that it’s all legit.
Some more distressing videos include American evangelicals saying goodbye to their children for the last time… We won’t share those, as they’re actually quite depressing.
It’s hard to completely blame TikTok users for wanting the final curtain to drop, as things aren’t going too great down here on Earth. That being said, it’s worth noting that the Bible never actually mentions the Rapture; it’s a relatively recent doctrine that originates from the early 1800s, one which has gained traction among fundamentalist theologians – specifically in the US, where everything is fine, civil conversation is alive and well, no one’s worried, and they’re all enjoying their “God-given freedoms”.
So, if the Rapture does come to pass, we here at Euronews Culture will be eating a whole concrete mixer full of humble pie. If it doesn’t, see you tomorrow, and do spare a thought for those who are going to be very disappointed on Thursday 25 September.
And if extra-terrestrial beings followed Tara Rule’s advice (see below), thank you alien visitors for joining in on the fun. And if you could provide some much-needed guidance on how to do better, that would be grand.
