As previously reported, Deftones bass player Chi Cheng was recently involved in a car accident that has left him in a coma.
The band has posted an update on his condition, saying "The critical 72 hours has passed and [Chi's] condition is stable. His doc is expecting a recovery but want to continue to sedate him and keep him quiet; he was trying to fight even in his coma.
"His mother and son have asked that [we] pass this information on as well...
"In the past when Chi was not on tour, he would gather a few instruments together once a week and meet the homeless kids in the park to play music with them. Today we ask you to give a homeless person a blanket, some warm clothes or some food. If you don't see a homeless person, reach out to a child near or far, and show some kindness to them.
"Keep sending your good thoughts and prayers; they are keeping him with us and he is improving daily."
