From the official Dave Matthews Band website:
We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.
What a terrible loss. Though I don’t listen much anymore, I was a huge DMB fan for the first half of my musical life. I can’t imagine the band will ever be the same, if they continue at all. Very sad news.
On a tangentially related note, I see that DMB fansite nancies.org has shut down. Nancies was my first online community, and even though I haven’t visited in years it feels strange to know that it’s not there anymore.
