| YUSUF ISLAM PROFILED BY VH1'S "BEHIND THE MUSIC" ON OCT. 1 >From VH1: The Oct. 1 episode "Cat Stevens: Behind The Music" tracks the musical and spiritual journeys of the '70s superstar singer-songwriter, born as Steven Georgiou and now known as Yusuf Islam (Bio). Steven's early pop chart successes in the late '60s were followed by a year with tuberculosis complicated by his own vague discontent, but he followed his near-death experience with rebirth as a huge international star in the '70s... ...But another near-fatal incident, however, when Stevens almost drowned while swimming in the Pacific, changed his life forever. He answered the call to the Muslim faith, and became Yusuf Islam. Back in his native London, the former idol has established a school for Islamic children and is an activist for war orphans from Bosnia, among other humanitarian efforts... ...Yusuf Islam explains misconceptions of Islam and tells fans how he has spent the past 20 years. This special 90 minute BTM features exclusive on location footage in Bosnia, Jerusalem and Turkey, and includes interviews with childhood friends, family, and music industry insiders.

Brother Yusuf is personally encouraging people to watch this special, particularly non-Muslims, as VH1 has done a fair job of presenting his journey to Islam.
