Deftones bassist Chi Cheng dies
 

Deftones bass guitarist Chi Cheng died Sunday morning, five years after a car crash left him in a coma, his mother announced. He was 42.
"This is the hardest thing to write to you," Mom J, the name his mother used with his fans, said. "Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing."
Her statement was published Sunday on OneLoveForChi.com, a website established to communicate with his fans and raise money to help care for Cheng since his disabling accident.
"He was taken to the emergency room, and at 3 a.m. today, his heart just suddenly stopped," his mother said. "He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear."

Sad stuff, Deftones were and still are one of my favorite bands.

5 years in a coma before that too? Wow.

I knew him, growing up. Deftones also recorded at my studio in Sacramento, CA.


He will be missed.
