Coldplay has finally spoken out about the allegations against them. The band posted the following statement on their website on Tuesday:

"With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations. If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write or have any influence on the song Viva La Vida. We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavours. Coldplay."

As I researched this whole situation further I have found many sources saying that Satriani did all he could to avoid going to court. Satriani has even publicly stated that "They just didn't want to talk about it"

Go to you tube look up both songs give them a listen and decide for yourself. I plan on keeping you posted on any further developments.
