Deftones frontman Chino Moreno experienced an onstage fall during the band’s recent performance in Auckland, New Zealand, while performing their song “Hole In The Earth.” The incident was captured on video and shared by a Deftones fan on YouTube.
The fan who recorded the performance provided context about what happened during the show.
“Deftones Frontman Chino Moreno Fell Onstage While Playing ‘Hole In The Earth’ In Auckland, NZ,” the fan wrote in the caption of the video.
The fall occurred during the band’s performance of one of their well-known tracks. Details about whether Moreno was injured or how the show continued have not been reported.
The incident took place during what appears to be part of Deftones’ ongoing tour activities, highlighting the physical demands that come with live rock performances.
The PRP reported that the fall happened during Deftones’ May 13 set at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. The venue is one of New Zealand’s premier concert halls, regularly hosting major international acts.
“Hole In The Earth” is a track from Deftones’ 2006 album “Saturday Night Wrist.” It remains a staple in the band’s live performances. The song’s energetic nature and Moreno’s dynamic stage presence likely contributed to the circumstances that led to the fall.
Onstage accidents are not uncommon in rock music, where performers often move energetically across stages while playing instruments and singing. Many artists have experienced similar incidents during live shows. Most continue performing after minor falls.
The video evidence of the incident has allowed fans to witness the moment firsthand. It remains unclear whether Moreno sustained any injuries or how the band handled the situation during the remainder of their Auckland performance.
