As a young teen I was a huge fan of Deftones. As I grew up I slowly drifted from them but within the past few years remembered how good they were considering I don't usually listen to much mainstream music, especially mainstream rock... Anyway, I got to see them live, which is a blessing because Cheng was still with them at the time (and it was Chino's birthday that night so it was like a big party!) Cheng was in an auto accident a while back and had been in a deep coma ever since. Within the last year he started responding to some stimulus, and we all had hope he might make it out. The other day his heart stopped suddenly. He will be missed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Cheng_(musician) I was especially attracted to him as I also play bass, and when I got my first bass at age 12 I first learned (or attempted) many Deftones tracks.
