California rock band Deftones confirmed last week that their bassist, Chi Cheng, was involved in a car accident in Santa Clara, CA that left him in a "very serious" coma.
Frontman Chino Moreno told the Sacramento Bee"I don't know everything that's going on -- I just know it's very serious".
"Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I'm praying that his strength will get him through this," Moreno added in a note on the Deftones' blog. "Please say a prayer for him as well."
Reports around the internet now say that Chi is in a more stable condition and is responding well to treatment. A statement on the Deftones' blog said Cheng had responded to his father's request to move his lower lip and his legs had also responded with movement after a tendon reflex test.
There was also a shout out from Cheng's family thanking the off duty EMTs who stopped to help Cheng after the crash, and to all fans who had left well-wishing messages.
The blog added: "Doctors continue to remain optimistic, and the energy at the hospital remains very positive."
