A fan video captured Deftones frontman Chino Moreno’s encounter with autograph seekers during a recent Dallas stop. The singer made a firm statement about his future stance on autographs after signing several items for waiting fans.
“Go ahead and tell your friends I’m not doing this sh*t no more,” Moreno declared in the video. “You guys go online in your little groups and sh*t, tell people I’m not signing sh*t no more.”
“I signed these right now, but let them know I’m not signing anything,” he continued, addressing the group of fans directly.
Fans had approached the singer with multiple albums requesting signatures.
