The group will perform April 5 at the Bamboozle Left festival in Irvine, Calif., with former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega stepping in for Cheng.

"Chi always wanted to keep working and never slow down, which is why we feel confident in returning to the stage at Bamboozle in April," the band says in a statement. "Chi would want it, and we want to make sure we're keeping his legacy alive.

i think that's really cool of them; glad to hear they're performing.

so Chi is still in a coma? i hadn't heard anything about him since the accident happened. man that's sad...

Solid replacement for Chi for the time being. I really hope to see Chi get back though. So tragic.

They were in the final stages of completing the record when it happened.

Can't believe this happened to such a genuinely beautiful human being. Chi is such a good soul and is one of the most caring people I've ever met. I saw Deftones when they last played w/ Sergio on bass about 10 years ago, and it bummed me out that Chi couldn't play because of a foot injury. This feels even worse. Still, anyone going to Bamboozle in Cali is hella lucky right now.

The record's done for the most part, just needs to be mixed which shouldn't take long but I bet they give Chi some more time before they think about releasing it.
