Cat Stevens, who now goes by Yusuf Islam, has postponed the North American leg of his book tour due to unspecified visa issues, the singer announced on social media Monday.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member was set to tour in support of his book, Cat on the Road to Findout, which will release in the US on 7 October and was made available in the UK earlier in September. The book release won’t be impacted, Islam wrote, noting that “books don’t need visas!”

Islam wrote that his team waited months for visa approvals, but “at this point, the production logistics necessary for my show cannot be arranged in time”.
