His name is Yusuf Islam now, and he is scheduled to release a new pop album in November 2006 entitled "An Other Cup". Stevens became a convert to Islam in 1977, after a near-death experience. He adopted the name Yusuf Islam in 1979, and became an outspoken advocate for the religion.
In 2004,he was denied entry into the United States after his name appeared on a no-fly list.

He's gone all Islam. He looks nothing like he did when he was a pop star, he looked European then. Now he looks like he's from India or Pakistan, or somewhere like that.
Some time ago, oldies radio stations in the UK blacklisted his music after he endorsed the Islamic death sentence on Salman Rushdie (author of the controversial book 'The Satanic Verses').

Yes, unfortunately he is still alive. Although his older music was great, he has become an extremist Muslim. He has completely abandoned the civilized western world and has embraced the violent and barbaric society of the Middle East. He was once detained at an airport coming to America because he was on the FBI's hit list as someone who might be a terrorist threat to America. See what Islam does to a person.

He stopped recording and performing after converting to Islam in 1978, changed his name to Yusuf Islam and devoted his time to raising a family and being active in Britain's Islamic community.
n 2003 he re-recorded "Peace Train" for a charity to benefit children in Iraq... In 2004 he made headlines when he was denied entry into the United States on unexplained national security grounds.

Yes, he is alive and well but now known as, Yusuf Islam since his conversion to Islam. He is 56 years old and I believe he lives in the UK.
