Deftones Update. 2009-02-05 by fromrows | 18 Comments | Confirmed: Deftones will be appearing at Bamboozle Left, April 5th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA. Tickets are on-sale at 10am this Saturday at thebamboozle.com.
With the announcement of our appearance on Bamboozle, we felt like its time to address some things.
First, Chi.
Our fallen comrade has not made significant progress as of late, but continues to fight on from his accident. Doctors are working feverishly to return our brother to us, and we continue to hold out hope and faith that Chi returns to the life he has waiting for him and can join us on stage once again.
For everyone that knows Chi, knows that he never wanted down time. Chialways wanted to keep working and never slow down, which is why we feel confident in returning to the stage at Bamboozle in April. Chi would want it, and we want to make sure we're keeping his legacy alive.
Back in 1999, Chi had to leave the band for a brief moment and our closefriend Sergio Vega filled in to keep the train moving. 10 years later, Sergio is going to step in once again while Chi is down. Sergio is family to us, and had received Chi's blessing before, so without a doubt we know that if Chi could tell us now, he would give us his blessing again.
In the meantime, we continue work on our record, and as for Bamboozle, we felt like we needed to poke our heads up for a quick breath before we buckle down and get this record finished... So we'll see you all in Irvine.

Sad to hear about Chi. An integral part of the band for sure. Looking forward to the new record.
| | |
hope Chi will eventually snap out of it. its cool to see them continuing on mainly just for his legacy and stuff though.
| | |
Poor Chi. The longer it takes for him to wake up, the less likely it is that he will. Hope he does.
That being said, I'm really looking forward to Eros.
| | |
Good luck guys, and good luck Chi. New record'll probably be great, but it won't quite be the same without him, I'm sure.
| | |
Been a long time since I heard about deftones. Hopefully Chi comes to soon.
| | |
Is Chi the guitarist? What happened to him?
| | |
the deftones arent good enough to make that concert worth seeing... they are good, but good enough?
who are they playing with?
| | |
That's awful. I can't believe he's still in coma. Godspeed
| | |
wasn't sergio in quicksand im having a brain fart
| | |
Fucking A, this sucks that he hasn't come out yet. Not good news. I wonder if Eros is recorded already.
| | |
wait a minute, the last Deftones newposts said Chi was awake
| | |
This is an awful situation for these guys, it really is sad.
Sergio Vega is a great bassist, he was spectacular in Quicksand and his solo project Fully was great too. I'm hoping he can carry the torch well.
| | |
Chi is the bassist and I believe he was in a car accident.
| | |
I hope the guy wakes up, he's a great bassist. :/
| | |
Godspeed
| | |
serves him right for putting out such shitty music
