London, February 7 : Coldplay has managed to sort out legal differences with Joe Satriani, who had served them with a lawsuit over plagiarism.

Turning to the court, Satriani had claimed that the rock band lifted his 2004 instrumental, "I Just Wanna Fly," for the basic melody of their 2008 hit song "Viva La Vida", a claim disputed by the rockers.

And now his lawyer Howard King has revealed that peace has been made over the entire matter, with Coldplay brining in a new legal team to fight the case.

Washington, Dec 9 : Legendary guitarist Joe Satriani has accused rock band Coldplay for plagiarising one of his songs.

The 52-year-old veteran artist has filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles federal court against the band for their 2008 hit track Viva La Vida.

Satriani alleges that the Yellow hitmakers have copied segments from his 2004 instrumental If I Could Fly to use in their track.

He also said that he never intended to instigate a full-fledged legal battle - but was forced to after the group refused to address his concerns.

"Everybody assumes I''m trying to go after these guys in Coldplay, as if I''m doing this with malice - that''s the furthest thing from my mind,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
