Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, has revealed that none of his songs are original and most of the music created by the band is influenced by other artists.

"We're definitely good, but I don't think you can say we're that original I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists", Femalefirst quoted him as telling America's Rolling Stone magazine.

The singer has also confessed that he wrote latest track A Message when he was nude.

"I wrote it naked I actually wrote it on a guitar, sitting on a sofa And I made sure that all the right bits were warm. In the middle of the night I thought I was either going to be sick or go write that song So the song just came up, then I went back to bed", he said.

I'm just glad that a popular artist has finally admitted that they are not AMAZING and not everything is original. Granted, we respect those more who create their own art but it is also great to see that others can admit that they had a lending hand :)
