Chris Martin Comments on Lawsuits

Coldplay front man Chris Martin has finally come out to talk about the accusations that he has ripped off guitarist Joe Satriani’s ‘If I Could Fly’, which bears resemblance to the hit ‘Viva La Vida’. Yusaf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, also claims that the hit Coldplay song took from one of his songs too. Chris said “If everyone’s trying to take away our best song, then we’d better write 25 better ones. And so just at the point where I was thinking about getting fat and becoming complacent, I’ve been finding more inspiration. Now we’ve got more to prove than ever before. Some people are suing us at the moment and although it was initially a bit depressing, now it’s become really inspiring.” Obviously, he’s never heard of the term originality.
