Coldplay has been accused of plagiarising another musician's work. Yusuf Islam, also known as '70s' rocker Cat Stevens, claims his song "Foreigner Suite" has the same melody as one of Coldplay's biggest hits "Viva La Vida". This is not the first time Coldplay has been accused of plagiarising another musicians music. In 2004, guitarist, Joe Satriani initiated legal action against Coldplay after claiming they stole his chords from his 2004 song. Also, in 2008 Coldplay was accused again of plagiarising an unknown Brooklyn band.In my opinion, if Coldplay used Cat Steven's melody from "Foreigner Suite", it is plagiarism and they should not be credited for it.
