Chi Cheng wife: Was Chi Cheng married?

Chi Cheng, the iconic bassist and vocalist of Deftones, was unmarried at the time of his death.

Joining Deftones in 1990, Cheng infused a distinctive bass style, blending melody and aggression, harmonizing seamlessly with the band’s sonic identity. His role extended beyond bass, contributing spoken word pieces and backing vocals that added depth to the band’s repertoire.

Cheng’s legacy is woven into the fabric of Deftones’ acclaimed albums— “Adrenaline,” “Around the Fur,” and “White Pony.”

These albums reflect his evolution as both a skilled musician and insightful lyricist, exploring themes of vulnerability and introspection that resonated against the backdrop of the band’s raw intensity.

In 2008, tragedy struck when a severe car accident abruptly halted Cheng’s thriving career, leaving him in a semi-comatose state. His death in 2013 marked the end of an era, but Cheng’s absence did not diminish his impact.

Deftones, in homage to their departed comrade, continue to weave Cheng’s bass lines into their performances and dedicate poignant songs to his memory.
