Rest in Peace LeRoi Moore

Yesterday, a very sad thing happened that has left many shocked and grieving. LeRoi Moore, the beloved Sax player in Dave Matthews Band has passed away.

For the past couple years, I have become a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band. The highlight has been the amazing experience of seeing them live last October at the Hollywood Bowl. Musically, DMB has been a great inspiration to me and I am very sad to see that LeRoi is gone. He is an amazing musician and helped found one of the most loved bands in recent history.

Taken from the DMB 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."

I took this photo of LeRoi when I saw them live last October.
