Dave Mathews Band founding member and saxophone player LeRoi Moore dies

LeRoi Moore was injured on June 30, 2008, in an ATV accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia, breaking several ribs and puncturing a lung,[and was hospitalized at UVA for several days. On August 19, 2008, the official Dave Matthews Band website reported that Moore died of complications from his injuries in the ATV accident. Dave Matthews paid tribute to Moore on August 19, 2008 at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, after the band's first song of the performance, "Bartender". "We all had some bad news today," Matthews told the sold-out crowd. "Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever." Fans then shouted Moore's name in remembrance.

Donations can be made in honor of Moore's memory on the band's website.
