After almost 3 decades, the singer once known as Cat Stevens is planning to make a return to the pop scene this Fall with a new album.
Stevens changed his name in 1977 to Yusuf Islam after nearly drowning off the California coast. He became a devout muslim and performed religious music while releasing his own albums for the past 30 years. He made only one download-only song in 2004 to benefit the Tsunami victims.
Can you say…fucking weirdo?
I think Paris Hilton already sold more albums than Cat will reach with this new gig…lol.

What, exactly, makes Cat a “fucking weirdo?” That he almost drowned or that he embraced religion because of it?
Ninja, were you one of those a-holes that burned Cat records when he quit the music industry?

I don’t understand why people should focus that much on his personal beliefs and call him names because of whatever he believes in???

Fred, people didn’t burn his records because he quit the music industry. They burned them because he agreed with a radical muslim ayatolla in Iran that Salmond Rushdie should be killed for writing a book about Islam thay they did not like. So much for free speech in the Muslim world!
He is welcome to his own religious beliefs but not at the expense of other’s beliefs that differ.
