Chi Cheng and Stephen Carpenter interview, Budapest,,Hungary, 26.02.06

RIP CHI - (July 15, 1970 - April 13, 2013.
Deftones' bassist Chi Cheng was left in a coma after a severe car accident November 2008. His condition slowly but gradually improved, till he was in a minimally conscious state. Chi was in New Jersey for about a year to continue the treatments he had started in a brain rehabilitation clinic. He was then moved home to Cali with his family, and a new medical team. He was gaining strength now that he was out of the hospital environment, till he passed away.. We love and miss you always Chi. CHI CHENG! RIP.

[@IcarianX]

Such a sweet and funny guy, the world has lost a really good man. Us Deftones fans will never forget him.

[@Adam-cn7it]

Chi saying “Dredg” to his favourite new band was the best crossover since Avengers

[@geribassist]

"he thinks he's black!" RIP Chi

[@Raksasa187]

i cant stop laughing!! These two where hilarious together, to bad Chi passed though...RIP

[@DVNTHYOUTUBR]

Chi was my fav bassist for Deftones imo, being their longest and they all got along great in those 18 years, and an outstanding backing vocalist with his loud screams going live and in Headup, Needles and Pins and much others, RIP Chi Cheng, u really helped this underrated band rise, much credit and for Sergio as well, they were the best❤️🔥🎶

[@chelseacornelius1698]

[@JamminWithJer]

As a native of Lodi, Ca I got into these guys at like 10 yrs old after learning chi went to high school like three blocks from me. Deftones wrote the soundtrack to my life lol. Rest in peace, Chi. One love

[@methodically0mental]

I've ran a tributepage for Chi since his accident (Myspace/Facebook) and have talked to fans all over the world on there, and so many of them speak of how Deftones - and especially Chi - have been a major part of their lives. Chi is loved all over the world. His family has told me repeatedly how the fans' love and support got them through everything. Thank you for sharing that.

[@billybrookes3887]

An all around humble, talented, clued up , inspirational, lovely guy. Man's at peace x.

[@1jiveturkey1]

Every day since Adrenaline, Deftones have been apart of my life through music. Whether in my car, or running with my ipod, there has rarely been a day wthout their music. I along with several thousand Deftones fans did not get to meet Chi, however he was and still will be apart of my life through the music. My condolences to the members of the band, friends, and especially to his family who never gave up hope since the tragedy. Travel well Chi, thanks for all the great years of music.

[@HIGHkeyGARBAGE]
