    Terrible news

    always loved his work.

    Any updates on the situation?

    A little update from Chino:

    Hello Everyone,

    I am back from up North visiting our brother Cheng. His condition remains the same - serious, but stable. We, along with the entire Cheng family, would like to extend our gratitude to everyone that's said a prayer or sent out their positive thoughts to Chi. Your support means more than you know.

    During his recovery process, Chi's mother has asked that each day we spread a little bit of good in his name. So each day Deftones will be posting what you can do to help Chi recover. Today, she has asked that you all remember to buckle your seat belts, and remind those you love to buckle up. By doing something so little in his name, you will be helping him find the strength to recover.

    Thank you, and please check back daily.

    -chino

    chi seems to be recovering well so far from what i've read...at least as well as he can be due to the severity of the crash. the doctors remain optimistic.

    stay strong chi!
