Deftones bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car accident on Monday in Santa Clara, California. According to the Sacramento Bee, Cheng is in a coma.


Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno released this statement on the band’s studio blog:

Hello everyone,

It deeply saddens me to inform you all that our brother Chi Cheng was involved in a terrible car accident last night. He is currently in a Northern California Hospital in serious, but stable condition. I am on my way up North right now to be by his side along with the rest of our band mates and family. Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I’m praying that his strength will get him through this. Please say a prayer for him as well.
