Dave Matthews Band's LeRoi Moore Dead

bumped from the fanposts. Really has nothing to do with RBR, but I spent many a happy hour traveling to and from DMB shows throughout college and high school, and even though I haven't listened to them with any regularity in something like 7 years I was really sad to find out about it last night.

Very sad news today, my friends.

From TMZ.com:

"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. Moore had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program."

Dave Matthews Band. . . .

. . .was supposed to play at the Staples Center this weekend on behalf of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. I didn’t have tickets ‘cause I’m not that into the band, but a ton of my friends are and they have tickets.

Rest in peace dear Mr. LeRoi Moore. Your light touched many lives, it will continue on and be welcome company among the stars.
