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.

Changing his name in 1977 to Yusuf Islam after a conversion to Islam, the singer now regularly goes by Yusuf/Cat Stevens. The singer paid tribute to late George Harrison during his set, and dubbed Nina Simone the “queen of the black civil rights movement” as he dedicated Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.

He also led a call of “peace be with you” from Glastonbury to those on pilgrimage to Mecca and commented on ongoing wars around the world.
