Deftones’ Bassist Cheng In Coma

Posted on November 5, 2008 by Moye

I don’t know how many of you are hardcore rockers, but Chi Cheng, the Chinese-American bassist for the Deftones and spoken word poet, is in a coma after a car accident in Northern California.

It sounds pretty bad, as the lead singer, Chino Moreno was stated as saying,

“I don’t know everything that’s going on — I just know it’s very serious. I’m on my way to be with his family, I’m pretty freaked out about it.”

I hope everything is okay. Any big Asian rocker dude wins points in my book. My significant other is sad about it, and therefore I promise to never make fun of him for listening to their albums ever again!*

* Yeah, right.

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less.
