British performer Yusuf Islam who was previously well known under the name of Cat Stevens said that Coldplay’s song “Viva La Vida” is copied after his 1973’s “Foreigner Suite”, noted NME. Coldplay is getting under such fire all the time, maybe they trully stole something? It’s the third time when Coldplay is being accused of plagiarizing this song which belongs to their 2008 “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” album. Guys who began to accuse them for the first time was a group from New York called Creaky Boards. They’ve said that “Viva La Vida” was taken from their “The Songs I Didn’t Write”. As that band believes one of the “Viva La Vida” authors Chris Martin could hear it during their concert in October 2007. Martin said that “Viva La Vida’s” demo version was recorded in March 2007 and could not be copied in any shape or form. Another famous American musician Joe Satriani proclaimed that it’s partially his 2004 “If I Could Fly” and started some strange court procedures against Coldplay. Chris Martin was forced to deny everything again, even though he admitted that songs sound similar. In Yusuf Islam’s case there will be no legal action, but just another possibility of the fact that Coldplay could steal some music.
