Dave Matthews Band [ tickets ] founding member and saxophonist LeRoi Moore died Tuesday night (8/19) at the age of 46 from complications related to a June all-terrain vehicle accident.

Moore's death at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles was "sudden" and "unexpected," according to the notice of Moore's passing posted on the band's website. The musician had returned to his home in the city to begin physical therapy following the off-road mishap, which occurred on his farm near Charlottesville, VA, but complications forced him to enter the hospital last month, where he remained until his death.

The hospital has not yet released further details regarding Moore's death.

The band did not cancel its scheduled Tuesday night show in Los Angeles, according to Ambrosia Healy, the group's publicist. Jeff Coffin, a member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, had been filling in on the band's summer dates since Moore's June accident. So far, the group hasn't postponed any upcoming shows.

Born in 1961 near Durham, NC, Moore was already an accomplished jazz musician when Dave Matthews asked him to record some songs he had written, according to the band's online history. Moore, a talented arranger, later garnered writing credits on many DMB songs, including the hits "Too Much" and "Stay."

In addition to his prowess as a saxophonist, Moore was also accomplished at flute and bass clarinet, as well as wooden penny whistle.

"Jazz is probably my main influence," Moore said in his DMB online biography. "But at this stage I don't really consider myself a jazz musician," adding that with Matthews and his other bandmates, "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas. It's almost better than a jazz gig."
