Leroi Moore = Dead
A tribute picture to Dave Matthews Band founder on the band’s website
LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of The Dave Matthews Band, died August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from an accident in June involving an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) on his farm in Virginia.
LeRoi had returned to Los Angeles to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program when things turned for the worst and he died at age 46-years-old.
Ambrosia Healy, the band’s publicist, said the band’s show Tuesday night in Los Angeles was not canceled. Saxophonist Jeff Coffin, who played with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, had been sitting in for Moore during the band’s summer tour.
LeRoi Moore, who liked to wear his trademark dark sunglasses at the bands’ live concerts, had classical training but said jazz was his main musical influence, according to a biography on the band’s Web site.
