A presale for Linkin Park’s LP Underground fan club begins Nov. 18.

Some spend months underground - there is even a small economy of people selling food, cigarettes and cooked meals to the miners.

Police are hesitant to go into the mine as some of those underground may be armed.

An estimated 4,000 illegal gold miners are hiding underground in South Africa after the government cut off food and water in an effort to "smoke them out" and arrest them.

Many miners spend months underground in unsafe conditions to provide for their families.
