After more three years spent in a coma, Deftones bassist Chi Cheng has woken up.

Since an almost-fatal car accident in California in November 2008 many had feared the day would never come but yesterday Cheng responded to his surroundings and adhered to simple requests.

Watch a video of Cheng raising his leg below.




The clip was uploaded by Gina Blackmore, the owner of Chengs fundraising website, OneLoveForChi.com.

Cheng lost his health insurance not long after the accident and his family has had to fit medical bills of over $250,000. Deftones’ band members have held multiple fundraising concerts to benefit the Cheng family.

The Deftones are currently working on a seventh album to follow up 2010’s Diamond Eyes with Sergio Vega fulfilling all bass duties.
