Inspiring news everyone, Chi Cheng the bassist for Deftones is getting better! For those unfamiliar, Chi has been in a coma for the past four years after being involved in an automobile accident. Chi is semi-conscious at the moment, being able to move his legs when asked which is a remarkable recovery.

The Cheng family needs your help, please visit www.oneloveforchi.com and donate what you can to help bring Chi to full recovery. Most musicians are self employeed, therefore they can not afford great health insurance or they skip out on it because it’s not offered to them like most corporate jobs.

Sergio Vega, former Quicksand bassist is Chi’s replacement at the moment. Sergio has worked with Deftones on their last album Diamond Eyes. The band is currently working on the follow up and there is no word on if Chi will return to Deftones. Right now the most important thing is for Chi to be healthy with his family.
