I am totally devastated by this news…..If you’re a DMB follower, then you have heard already. LeRoi Moore, Sax player for the Dave Matthews Band has died due to complications from an ATV accident back in June.

What we know:

LeRoi died this afternoon at an LA Hospital.

DMB has decided to go on with their LA show tonight. Some fans say feel that’s what LeRoi would have wanted.

There isn’t anymore information on what happened other than “there were complications.”  I know he had broken ribs and a punctured lung, but since the accident, no other information has been given. I’ll post more when I know.

RIP LeRoi Moore.  DMB will not be the same without you.

As we sat this afternoon contemplating the loss of our brother, we wondered how we could possibly do a show today. Dave put it into perspective stating, “There’s no place I’d rather be than here with you guys right now.” We cherish special memories of our lost friend. Tonight, Dave told a story about LeRoi at a bar in Virginia where the cash register was near the stage and LeRoi leaned on the register because “standing had become a chore”. Roi proceeded to play the most beautiful version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Dave said, “that was the day I fell in love with him. And I’m still in love with him.” It’s safe to say we all were in love with him. “It’s always easier to leave, than to be left.” -DM

This is a video from the show last night…Dave stating the quote above:

Rest in Peace LeRoi….
