DMB Saxophonist LeRoi Moore Dies at 46
Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore died yesterday in Los Angeles. He was 46. Moore was critically injured in an ATV accident while on his farm in Virginia on June 30. He punctured his lung and broke several ribs. After being released from the hospital, he returned last month due to complications from his injuries.
Moore was a founding member of DMB and a phenominal saxophone player. He wrote several songs for the band.
The band paid tribute to him at their show in Los Angeles last night. Dave Matthews told the audience, “We all had some bad news today. Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever.”
The man gave great sax and will be missed. Check out some of his work in a video after the jump.
