Here are a few words from Yusuf Islam, about his leaving... his needing to leave. it is actually simpler than my interpretations about loss of touch and fame and fortune...

in brief he says that what he wrote about, he was sincere about, and if he hadn't been sincere, he could have kept on making records but it was time for him to go and live by his ideals.

but have a listen for yourselves...

he says more... about reconciling his past and present, and about his direction...
