R.I.P. LeRoi Moore

Aug 20 | by Natasha

LeRoi Moore, saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band, died last night after complications from a June ATV accident. He had a punctured lung and broken ribs, and he had just started rehab at his L.A. home. Unfortunately, he had to go back into the hospital last month due to complications. And the news of his death came right before the Dave Matthews Band was set to perform to a sold out crowd last night. LeRoi was 46. Sad news indeed.

Hey guys. First off, I can't

Hey guys. First off, I can't say how sad this makes me. This is truly one of my favorite bands of all time. Some of the best music I've ever heard in my life! I hope that they will carry on in honor of him. Secondly, I am very happy to see this many Black people (assuming everyone on theybf is actually YBF!) recognizing this great talent. Would love to stay in touch with you guys, if you are actually fans of the band. Kind've like a Black DMB club. LOL! BTW, Skee-Phi to Ms. FSU/504
