Glastonbury viewers were left in awe as Yusuf/Cat Stevens gave a 'timeless' performance on Sunday afternoon (June 25). The 74-year-old played the coveted Teatime Legends slot, which included his 70s hits Father and Son, Morning Has Broken and Moonshadow.
The singer-songwriter landed his first hits while still in his teens performing as Cat Stevens, with I Love My Dog and Matthew And Son charting in the UK in 1966.
