Chi needs our help

Chi from Deftones has been in the hospital for about 2 weeks now. I wasnt sure if anyone knew about it but Ive been following it closely. I took so long to post because naively, I thought that the super human factor some how applied to musicians, when in fact this incident has reminded me that they are very much just regular people. Chi was in a car accident with a drunk driver. Im not sure who was the drunk party because the Deftones website has not been specific, only stressing the importance that the rest of us dont drink and drive. Either way Chi has been in a coma the whole time and he has still not waken up. He is in stable condition, which is good, now everyone just needs to send him love and support so he can wake up and begin putting his life back together. I wasnt scared at first but hes been out for a while now. I love Deftones, especially Chi, seeing as how he is the bassist, but also he's always been one of the funniest of the bunch. He has given me so many of hours of musical comfort and peace the least I can do is send this out to a few of us in the hopes that the more people that think of his recovery, the faster it will come about. Take of yourselves good people.

I haven't been following super closely but I had known from their studio blog that he was in bad shape from a car accident involving drunk driving. Hopefully he's able to make a full recovery. The world needs his music and would be a dimmer place without it.

I couldnt agree more. Im still optimistic. At least he is stable.
