Deftones Bassist In Coma

Posted by Michael on November 6, 2008

Updating our previous story on Deftones bassist Chi Cheng's car accident. The 38-year-old bassist injured in a car accident in Santa Clara, CA is currently in a coma, listed in stable condition.  Frontman Chino Moreno has issued another statement; here is what he offered up:

Hello Everyone, I am back from up North visiting our brother Cheng. His condition remains the same - serious, but stable. We, along with the entire Cheng family, would like to extend our gratitude to everyone that's said a prayer or sent out their positive thoughts to Chi. Your support means more than you know.  During his recovery process, Chi's mother has asked that each day we spread a little bit of good in his name. So each day Deftones will be posting what you can do to help Chi recover. Today, she has asked that you all remember to buckle your seat belts, and remind those you love to buckle up. By doing something so little in his name, you will be helping him find the strength to recover.  Thank you, and please check back daily.
