Yusuf Islam, the musical

A warning has broken. And we're gonna get us a gun ticket. Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, has written a stage musical. Although it is to premiere in Northampton, assuming it goes well, it should (ensh'Allah) make it to the London stage. The honey-voiced one has been busy in the last few years: there are rumours of an album to follow An Other Cup, his 2006 release, and he has most recently been working on a video with Jesse Dylan. This is one musical rumour which we really hope comes true. (Image/chutney bannister)
