"A lot of you may have heard that Chi Cheng from the DEFTONES was in a car accident and is in a coma. There is a benefit show for him and his family this Saturday (November 29th) at Fat City in San Francisco. The Death Angel boys are going to jam out some tunes for the cause with other great bands joining in. Come show your support."

As far as I know he's still in a coma. Last I heard his condition hasn't improved. But it's great to see that a band who hasn't made anywhere near as much as Deftones are willing to do something like this. Great band and evidently great people. When they come back to England I'll buy 'em a pint.
