A member of one of my favourite bands has passed away.
A founding member of the Dave Matthews Band saxophone player LeRoi Moore, died Tuesday from injuries he sustained in an ATV accident in June.
Moore was initially hospitalized in late June after the accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va. He was later discharged and had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin a rehab program when complications forced him back to the hospital on July 17th. It was not immediately clear what complications occurred.
Moore, a classically trained musician, said jazz was his main musical influence. Lead singer Dave Matthews credited Moore with arranging many of his songs. The band won't be the same without him.
LeRoi Moore of the DMB was 46 and the best of what’s around.
