Former DEFTONES Bassist Chi Cheng Passes Away At The Young Age Of 42 - Rock In Peace!


We have some very sad news to report. Former DEFTONES bassist Chi Cheng died last night at 3 AM in a Sacramento, CA hospital. His mother made the official announcement on 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 emergency [sic] 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 (website) 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)

As previously reported, Chi was in a tragic car accident on November 4, 2008. As a result, he suffered some very serious brain injuries. Ever since the accident Chi was in a state of semi-consciousness after suffering severe TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).

Our condolences go out to Chi's family, friends and all of the DEFTONES fans.
