Cat Stevens Wants Coldplay Credits
May 7th, 2009 by Hannah
Folk rock legend Cat Stevens is claiming that Coldplay has ripped off one of his tunes. The iconic musician who now goes by Yusuf Islam, thinks Chris Martin and company’s ‘Viva La Vida’ was heavily inspired by his 1973 song ‘Foreigner Suite’. He says “If you listen to it, it’s mine! It’s the ‘Foreigner Suite’ it is!” Cat isn’t seeking any sort of monetary compensation for his claims though. He just wants the credit that he feels he deserves. Cat isn’t the first to accuse Coldplay for plagiarizing though. Oddly enough, both claims say that ‘Viva La Vida’ is the offending song. I think that just makes it a very big coincidence.
