LeRoi Moore | In Matthews Band, 46 Posted on August 22nd
LeRoi Moore, 46, the saxophonist whose signature staccato fused jazz and funk overtones onto the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band, has died of complications from injuries in an all-terrain-vehicle accident, the band said.
He died Tuesday at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was admitted with complications that arose weeks after the wreck, according to a statement on the band’s Web site.
On June 30, his ATV crashed on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va. He was discharged and returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical therapy. Complications forced him back to the hospital July 17, the band said. - AP
