Coldpay Could Be The Target Of Another LawsuitYusef Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, a popular singer and songwriter from the 1970s, said that Coldplay’s song “Viva La Vida” sounds like his song “Foreigner Suite,” according to Reuters.When asked whether he would pursue the issue legally, Islam said "it depends on how well Satriani does." U.S. guitarist Joe Satriani has sued Coldplay, accusing the British band of copyright infringement. He claims substantial original portions of his song "If I Could Fly" are recycled in "Viva La Vida" and is seeking damages. Islam, whose new album "Roadsinger," comes out today, was unable to perform at a New York concert on Sunday because of "work permit" issues. The singer, a Muslim convert, said the problem was unrelated to his being denied entry into the United States five years ago because his name was on a government no-fly list. Islam is scheduled to play one show in Los Angeles next week and appear on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on May 13. |
