Fast Machine Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It may interest some to read: NEW YORK (Billboard) - The bass player with California rock band Deftones is in a coma after being involved in a car accident Monday in Santa Clara, Calif., according to the Sacramento Bee. Chi Cheng, 38, is in a "very serious" state, the paper quoted frontman Chino Moreno as saying. "I don't know everything that's going on -- I just know it's very serious," Moreno told the Bee. "Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I'm praying that his strength will get him through this," Moreno added in a note on the Deftones' blog. "Please say a prayer for him as well." Cheng has been in the studio with Deftones working on the band's next studio album, "Eros," which is due in spring 2009 via Warner Bros. The Deftones' most recent live show was in mid-September in Peoria, Ariz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Machine Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 An update from his mother via their website: "Chi's condition remains stable. He is still hooked up to a respirator to control his breathing, but can now breathe on his own. Yesterday, while visiting, I let him know that all his fans are praying and waiting for him to wake up. He responded by moving his eyes underneath his eyelids. We are so very happy with all of these small victories." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
