Yusuf/Cat Stevens Postpones North American Tour Due Visa Delays

Yusuf / Cat Stevens has postponed his North American "Cat on the Road to Findout" book tour due to ongoing visa delays, which have made it impossible to organize the necessary production logistics in time for the scheduled October dates. The tour, intended to support his memoir published in the U.K. on September 18 and set for North American release on October 7, was to include shows in major cities such as Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Stevens expressed disappointment for fans who had bought tickets and made travel plans but indicated that the tour might resume in the future if visa approvals are obtained, although any new dates would be delayed by other commitments. While the tour is postponed, the book's release and availability remain unaffected, highlighting that books do not require visas. Speculation exists that past political statements by Stevens could have influenced the visa issues, though no official reason was stated. Stevens completed his U.K./Ireland tour earlier in September and hopes fans will join him on future tours when circumstances allow.
