With everything going on in the world, I’m just not ready to leave home and leave the country yet.“I wish I can see each and every one of you, but for now, our good friend from Sacramento, Lance, will be fulfilling my duties.
Although I’m watching from afar, I’ll be there in spirit with my Deftones family.”A message from @Stefdodoubleg to our international fans: pic.twitter.com/QVT9Ds29lR— Deftones (@deftones) May 20, 2022It comes just months after Sergio Vega announced that he had officially left Deftones. The bassist had played with the iconic metal band since replacing former bassist Chi Cheng in 2009, but after rumours began to circulate of Vega’s departure, he later confirmed the news in a video message.At the time, he opened up about his recent departure, saying he left the Californian alt-metal outfit because it didn’t offer him “a sense of belonging”.Speaking on the Talk Toomey podcast, Vega alleged that he was never formally made an official member of the band.
