According to q101.com, alternative metal band the Deftones have decided to play at the Bamboozle Left festival on April 5. They are playing despite the fact that bassist and founding member, Chi Cheng, is still in a coma following a car accident back in November.
As a Deftones fan, I have mixed emotions about the news. Although it is nice to see such a talented group continue to play, Cheng is such an integral part of the Deftones style the band may not be the same without him. According to a Myspace post by the band, however, Cheng would have wanted the band to carry on, and accordingly, the band is making this festival stop.
The band is still working on their upcoming album, set for release later this year. At this point it seems that we will just have to wait and see what develops.
