Deftones bass player Chi Cheng in a coma

Deftones have changed my life. Chi is a great poet as well. Check out his poetry cd call "bamboo parchute".
I can't wait for the new album "Eros"
My prayers go out to Chi, family, and friends!

Get well bro!

Hey everyone, As of today chi is holding strong. He we be so happy to know the good things you are doing out of respect for him in his downtime. For day three, Please, if your gonna party find a designated driver beforehand and of coarse stay buckled. Chi's mother (Jeanne) asked if I would post these words from her as well. -Chino. "When asking Chi's head neuro surgeon what kind of thank you gift we could get for he and his team of doctors he responded that some of the surgeons love the Deftones and he would like them to have tickets for when chi's back onstage. He expects a tough recovery but in the end expects Chi will be playing his bass again. Praise Jah. For himself the doc has a special request for all of you. He will give you more details soon. It is 1:00 am now and I am with Chi. I've been reading your emails to him. You are so wonderful. My heart aches with love for you. We are all connected." - Jeanne (chis mom).

i hope when he wakes up he has a million new bass riffs to play the world!

Wow, they're my favorite band. I saw them in 2003, and Chi was of course amazing. I really hope he's okay and that he recovers well. Chi, you're in my thoughts.

Chi, you are in my thoughts buddy :(

A wonderful band who can get through any adversity. My thoughts are with him and his family.

No more bad news about famous people I know about.

I never had someone in a coma. Never been in that situation.

I hope he comes out of it alright.

This is horrible I truely hope he recovers full and well... Chino is an amazing vocalist with a tried and true understanding of dynamic tonal value which i, a musician myself, embrace as a unique and progressive artistic contribution to commercial music as a whole. deftones' newest album is and was refreshing, and i sincerely hope he is willing and able to reinvent thier genre in 2009 like they have since they first came out...

I really can't say enough good things about this band.

I was going to post this story but I didn't think anyone would care.

This is one vegetarian that's cannot die~! Deftones are sick.

And I agree with the above, this isn't news. Current is not "People".

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

deftones are so sick!

deftones are so bad ass.... i still listen to their good stuff to this day. lets hope he gets better

:(

Deftones played a major role in my teenage years so I'm quite sad to hear of this. As others have said, I hope Chi makes a full recovery and I send deep regards to all of his loved ones.

That sucks... I really like the Deftones.

I pray he gets well soon...

unfortunate, but not news.

wow this was a shocker to see when I refreshed the page. Such a talented man, I hope he makes a fast and full recovery!

hope he pulls through Deftones where one of the bands that absolutely deserved to be signed every thing they done was so good listening to their music was a defining part of my child hood...

I still have medical bills from seeing Deftones in concert, broken nose = no fun.
It was still fucking worth it though lol.
The ironic thing is that a car accident is what helped form the band, so I'm taking it to mean that bigger & better things are in store for my Sacramento boys.

My prayers go out for him & his family.

i always forget how much i like those guys.... hope he makes a full recovery!
