Coldplay have revealed the title of their new album.
'Viva la Vida' is the band's fourth LP, and is expected to be released in May. Frontman Chris Martin told Rolling Stone he was inspired by a painting by Frida Kahlo: "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."
Martin then went on to say: "Everyone thinks it comes from Ricky Martin, which is fine. I have absolute respect. 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'. So when 'Viva la Vida' came along, I was kind of annoyed because I'm going to have to try and convince everybody of this, but it just felt right."
