Dave Matthews bandmembers were described as “devastated” when they learned of the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore yesterday. But they went on with their show at Staples center. The band had no idea LeRoi was even in Los Angeles! LeRoi had planned to surprise the band with a visit backstage. Moore had been hospitalized several times while being treated for complications, including a collapsed lung, from that ATV accident at his Virginia farm. He was a stubborn patient and left the hospital early. He really missed the band, who were like family to him, and against doctors orders, chartered a plane to fly to the LA show so he could see the guys. Tragically, that may have contributed to his early demise.

Just goes to show you that you have to be ready, whenever the grim reaper comes a-calling.
Is Dave the eco warrior still dumping his toilet waste over bridges and spraying tourists. LOL
This post was pure speculation and very insensitive. I’m a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band and I am appalled at your insensitivity janet.
6:23 – You can just piss off – and the rest of the people who called Janet out for first posting this news yesterday before it broke. She had the inside scoop when it happened & I’m betting this is just as accurate.

What’s appalling and insensitive is the fact that they went on with the show, they should have canceled.
faux environmentalists …….
kaycee @ 8:32 PM….I agree with U totally. Janet is correct 99.99% of the time, she has been doing this for years and knows her business. Lay off her. (P.S.: I am not Janet Charlton). Janet, dahling, we love you.
Janet. Never seen your site before, but your comments were forwarded over to me. I do find them pretty much just your opinion and quite rude. But, I guess sometimes being stuck in your little Hollywood world makes you that way. Next time when it comes to death……be a little bit more sensitive.
Leroi appears to have had a house in LA. The announcement on http://www.dmband.com states that he had returned to his LA home to begin rehabilitation.
