Overview
Chris Martin has confirmed the title of Coldplay's fourth album as 'Viva La Vida'
Apparently named after a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo tracks are rumoured to be titled 'Lovers In Japan' and 'Strawberry Swing'.
Chris Martin saw 'Viva La Vida' (or 'Long Live Life') on a painting by the acclaimed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Chris Martin went on to explain to Rolling Stone that Kahlo died in 1954 after battling back problems and polio.
"She went through a lot of shit, of course and then she started a big painting in her house that said 'Viva la Vida'. I just loved the boldness of it."
On the choice of name he added, "I've been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying that 'That's a terrible name', but then saying, 'Well, fuck you, that's what it's called, and I'll be proved to be right eventually'."
'Viva La Vida' currently has a June 16 release date.
