Yusuf Plays at Old Vic Fundraiser
On April 15th, Yusuf Islam was invited by actor Kevin Spacey to perform at a fundraiser for the Old Vic theatre.
Delighting an intimate crowd of the historic venue’s supporters, Yusuf sang a new song from his forthcoming “Moonshadow” musical, “Where the Sun Don’t Shine”, as well as his classic hit “Peace Train” together with “Peace Train Blues”. And in a memorable finale, Yusuf was joined on stage by Academy Award winner Spacey for a duet, with the two singing the famous Bobby Darin anti-war song “Simple Song of Freedom”.
Other guests on the night included Rowan Atkinson, Jeff Goldblum, Annie Lennox and Lenny Kravitz.
