Dave Matthews Band saxophone player and founding member, LeRoi Moore, died this evening at age 46.

Moore was seriously injured in an ATV accident on June 30 outside Charlottesville, VA. He had a punctured lung and broken ribs but was released from the hospital after a short stint. Moore went back into the hospital last month due to prolonged complications that continued to arise.

Moore died in Los Angeles this afternoon, after taking a turn for the worse. It is uncertain at this point how Moore’s death will effect the remainder of DMB’s summer tour.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Moore’s children and family.

LeRoi Moore 1961-2008
