The Deftones is one of my all time favorite bands… Abe Cunningham being in my top 3 drummers that I love (one of the first beats I learned to play was the one to Around the Fur).  I had a random urge last week to listen to a bunch of old deftones songs.  At any rate, Chi Cheng, their bassist apparently got into a car accident and is currently in a coma.  It’s pretty fucking tragic.

Abe posted this in a bulletin today and I’m passing the message along to everyone:

Hi-

I spoke to Chi’s mother this morning, the Neurosurgeon treating Chi says the first 72 hours are critical, and as of now he is fighting the good fight and the doctors remain optimistic. We are seeing your prayers in action.
The family asks that all the prayer warriors out there to continue to pray for Chi, and keep sending out your positive energy!

Today’s good deed for Chi is to call someone you love, remind them of that love by saying “I love you,” and like yesterday remind them to buckle up.
