Cat Stevens, who also goes by Yusuf, has postponed the North American leg of his book tour due to unspecified visa issues, the singer announced on social media Monday.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>

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 Oct. 7 and was made available in the UK earlier this month. The book release won’t be impacted, Stevens wrote, noting that "books don’t need visas!"<br>

Stevens is the latest in a string of international musicians and athletes impacted by visa issues, as fees have increased in the past year and processing times have slowed.<br>

Stevens 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."<br>
<br>

"I am really upset!" Stevens wrote on social media. "Not least for my fans who have bought tickets and made travel plans to see me perform."<br>
