LeRoi Moore R.I.P


I want to dish about...


The unexpected death of Leroi Moore, the forty-six year old saxophone player for Dave Matthews Band.


First the Facts.
Moore passed away August 19, 2008, after injuries from an ATV accident. Rolling Stone online wrote that Moore received a punctured lung and broken ribs from the accident, which occurred on his farm in Virginia. Since Moore's hospitalization, Jeff Coffin has been filling in during concerts. He will continue to do so for the rest of the tour. However, it is not certain what will happen after the tour is over.

Now The Opinions.
The death of LeRoi Moore has devastated Dave Matthew's fans everywhere. His performances were viewed as extremely talent-filled and entertaining. Through-out the nation, fans are mourning their losses. A Dave fan here at school, Carly Mathis, claimed that his death was "one of the saddest things ever". She speaks for all of us fans as we deal with this loss. I for one am still in mourning.
