From family:

quote:

“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)”


RIP

That's really upsetting. Easily my favorite rock band and they always put out great music. I hope the band keeps going but I don't know if Chino will without Chi

Such a bummer. Deftones changed my life, musically speaking. White Pony is the best album of all time as far as I'm concerned. RIP brother

Sad to hear....but some of you act like he is the current bassist...

He was in a bad wreck in the early-mid 2000's and was basically in a coma for awhile.

He has obviously not been with the band since the wreck. So the Deftones will go on, although I'm sure it's a difficult time for them

RIP Chi but of course the Deftones will go on, he hasn't played with them in years and Sergio Vega has done a damn good job in his place.

Considering he's continued on without Chi since 2008 I think we're okay.
