alex just called me to give me the sad news that leroi moore died today. leroi was the dave matthews band’s saxophonist. not much information is being given about his death other than that he succumbed today to injuries suffered in an ATV accident on june 30th.

ever since i was 14, the dmb has been my favorite band. i’ve gone through a lot of stuff with their music, and when you really become attached to a band, their members become extremely familiar and close to your heart…even if you don’t even know them.

of dave, stefan, carter, and boyd, leroi’s always been my favorite. each band member is incredible in his own way, but i’ve always admired how talented leroi was with various wind instruments.

i don’t know what dmb’s gonna do. i’m sure they’ll go on just fine, but things won’t be the same. i am really, really gonna miss his presence. my heart hurts so much for these guys and leroi’s family and friends.
