Yes, I know what you are thinking, they have always been thieves in a way (See the music of Radiohead or U2), but apparently this time Coldplay has actually stolen a song’s melody from a lesser known band, The Creaky Boards. I do see the similarities, but they are not striking enough to win a case IMO, and according to Mr. Martin’s Diary, he had written “Viva La Vida” before he saw the band perform the song he allegedly stole, at the CMJ festival. Who knows, watch for yourself:
