R.I.P. Chi Cheng

[Sylar]

Deftones bassist Chi Cheng has passed away this morning having been involved in a major car accident back in 2008.

During the accident, his open top car rolled and he wasn't wearing a seat-belt, ejecting him from the car and inflicting serious injuries on him. He was in a coma until a couple of years ago but had recently gone from that to a semi-awake state. He'd also started to move his legs again but he clearly had serious neurological damage.

A sad loss as he's been with the Deftones since the beginning and was a very talented musician indeed!

Very sad. Cracking bassist.
