Den Headz, DEFTONES bassist Chi Cheng lost his life today at the age of 42. He had battled for years in a semi-coma since being involved in a November 4th, 2008 car crash. An official statement from his family and friends has been posted online via Oneloveforchi.com.
“Our dearest Family,
This is the hardest thing to write to you. Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you. He was taken to the emegency room and at 3 am today his heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear.
He fought the good fight.You stood by him sending love daily. He knew that he was very loved and never alone. I will write more later. I will be going through the oneloveforchi and any other information may not be reliable. If you have any stories or messages to share please send them to the onelove site. Please hold Mae and Ming and the siblings and especially Chi’s son, Gabriel in your prayers. It is so hard to let go.
With great love and “Much Respect!” Mom J (and Chi)”
TMD sends out our condolences to Chi’s family, friends all the Deftones fans around the world.
