Coldplay's mega donation

Coldplay have donated £1 million to a children's charity, it has been revealed. Kids Company founder Camila Batmanghelidjh confirmed the news, explaining how thrilled the London-based organisation were by the gesture.

"They were moved by the tough stories they heard and want to be genuine participants", she said.

"I got the feeling the donation was something they had planned from the start of their careers", explained Batmanghelidjh.

Coldplay completed their "Viva La Vida" world tour this weekend, with a pair of shows at Wembley Stadium in London.

Lawsuit settled over Coldplay song

Guitarist Joe Satriani and Coldplay have reached an agreement that ends a copyright infringement lawsuit filed over the band's smash hit Viva la Vida.

Satriani sued Coldplay in December, claiming the band copied "substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, If I Could Fly.

Coldplay won a Grammy Award earlier this year for Viva La Vida.

A federal judge in Los Angeles last week dismissed the case at the request of attorneys for both sides. No details about an agreement were included in court filings, other than each side would pay its own legal costs.

Satriani is a renowned guitarist who has been nominated for numerous Grammys during his career.
