"I don't want to speak for him," Moreno told Metal Hammer. "And even if I could, I still don't have an answer. Really I don't. It's still something that I think he is figuring out. And if he does have an answer, I think it'd be great if one day he would share it. But yeah, we support him. We have to. He's our friend. And his health, be it physically or mentally, always takes the forefront of anything."

"It does freak me out when I sit back and, in retrospect, think about it," Chino Moreno says of Deftones' longevity.

Deftones share "Milk of the Madonna," the second single from their upcoming album 'Private Music', which releases on August 22 via Reprise.

Deftones have announced the 2025 edition of their annual Dia De Los Deftones festival, taking place November 1st at Petco Park in San Diego.

Deftones have recently released a music video for their new single "My Mind Is a Mountain," which previews their upcoming album, Private Music.

The Deftones hinted at new music imminently, displaying 'private music' and 'X.VII.MMXXV' at their London show, suggesting an announcement on July 10, 2025.
