Question

Where did Cat Stevens almost drown?

Answer 1

Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam) nearly drowned in the River Thames in London in 1968. He was rescued by a lifeboat crew and later recovered from his near-drowning experience.

Answer 2

In 1976, Stevens nearly drowned off the coast of Malibu, California, and said he shouted, "Oh, God! If you save me I will work for you." He stated that, immediately afterwards, a wave appeared and carried him back to shore. This brush with death intensified his long-held quest for spiritual truth.
