For his fans, Chris Martin’s voice is haunting enough as it is. Imagine it bouncing spookily around the surreal walls of the Cango Caves – which is what MTV is proposing, according to local reports.
This hasn’t impressed the conservationists of the Klein Karoo very much, however, who feel that a few hours of unplugged Coldplay (plus a viewership in the tens of millions) is not worth spoiling a carefully-laid track record of pro-cave-preservation decisions in recent years.
Nevertheless, the powers that be in Oudtshoorn (such as there be powers that be there) are considering giving the idea the nod.

“Nevertheless, the powers that be in Oudtshoorn (such as there be powers that be there) are considering giving the idea the nod.”
