"Jackin our steez hard"
Londoners have recently noticed a colourful and very mysterious poster plastered on their London Underground wall, and people were quick to suggest that it was Coldplay's new album cover.
However, others have noticed it bears a distinct resemblance to another UK band's album cover — Bring Me The Horizon's 2013 record, Sempiternal.

With Chris Martin seemingly confirming on social media today that the "flower of life" geometric pattern was indeed somehow related to Coldplay, Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes was quick to comment on the likeness to their Sempiternal album cover.

It remains to be seen whether the Bring Me The Horizon camp believes it rips off their artwork enough to do something about it, but for the moment, Sykes noting that the artwork is "jackin our steez hard" is pretty funny.
