Deftones Speak Out On Reading/Leeds Performance
The Deftones have spoken out about their summer festival performances, which will happen without bassist Chi Cheng.
After much speculation the Deftones have today confirmed that they will in fact be appearing at this years Reading and Leeds festivals, with front man Chino Moreno saying: “We are really excited to be back in the UK for the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
“It’s been a while since we’ve played at Reading and Leeds so we can’t wait to get back and see all of our UK fans.”
The band will, however, be performing without bassist Chi Cheng, who is still comatose after being involved in a car accident.
“As of now our brother Chi will not be with us as he is still recovering, and we want to thank everyone for the continued love and support.” Continued Moreno.
“It means a lot to the band and to the Cheng Family.
“Until Chi’s return our friend Sergio Vega will be filling in for him. We’ve known Sergio for a long time and he is part of the family.”
Former Quicksand bassist Vela has previously appeared with the band, filling in for Cheng back in 1998.

Good news that they will be touring..pretty much desperate for some new material from them, SNW was lacking in agression In my opinion. Get well Cheng.
