On a flight from London on September 21, 2004, he was refused entry to the United States on national security grounds.

Re-recorded hit song "Peace Train" for the collective album "Hope" (April 2003) in support of peace for Iraq.

Refused to license his song "Father and Son" for use in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was the first musical number in the original script. Because of his current religious beliefs, he objected to the sexual content in the film. The scene featuring "Father and Son" was to have been between Christian and his father in his father's office, with all his father's employees joining in for the chorus. This was to be the segue into his leaving home for Paris. The scene is included in the complete script on the Special Edition DVD.

Released his first album in 17 years - "Life of the Last Prophet" (1995); It contains 66 minutes of narration about the life of Mohammad plus three traditional Islamic songs.

Universally derided in 1989 when he allegedly went on record supporting the Ayatollah Khomeini's death sentence against The Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie. Stevens's records were burned and taken out of stores, and many radio stations permanently boycotted his music. Nearly a decade later, Stevens claimed he was highly misquoted, that he did not support the Ayatollah's sentence. Rather, he merely reiterated the Koran's teachings about those who "defame the prophet". Stevens says he bears no ill will towards Rushdie, and did not wish for him to be killed.

Abandoned the music business in 1978 and converted to Islam.

Released in November 1968 after spending three months in hospital recovering from tuberculosis.

According to British newspapers of October 1966, he said that he chose the name Cat Stevens because a girl told him that he looked like a cat.

Cat Stevens was born on July 21, 1948 in London, England as Stephen Demetre Georgiou.
