RIP LEROI MOORE :(

RIP Leroi…You will be missed…Definitely grooved to more than a few solos.

It’s insane that they went on and played. I know the adage that “he would have wanted them to” and all, but still…

…Phish would’ve canceled an entire tour if one of their members was injured or died, right?

Or is that apples to oranges?

^ I thought it was insane as well

It’s really more like GMO apples vs Organic apples, the GMO being Dave

They already had replacements for this tour to my surprise, I guess Leroi was in recovery at the start of this tour as it was…

Well that’s true, it’s not like it was sudden, he was injured a few months ago.

But still. Damn. Maybe they played Queen’s “The Show Must Go On” beforehand.

he was injured months ago? damn, what happened? did he break his neck or something? i figured he got hurt very recently and died from his injuries, but if he’d been in recovery for months…i’m just trying to figure out what caused him to actually die after so long.

atv accident, busted a rib and punctured a lung i believe

Moore was an insane sax player among many other instruments. I think he was the best part of DMB live. Trey was good friends with him too. What a loss :frowning:

Wow. That’s crazy. I wonder if he just gave up, knowing that he wouldn’t be playing much more saxophone with a punctured lung. That’s very sad to me. I know I wouldn’t be very willing to keep fighting if I lost my ability to play my saxophone. God forbid that ever happens. Makes me want to quit smoking cigs…

RIP Mr. Moore.

Terrible news. He was a great guy and a great musician.

Rest in peace L

wow, that’s so strange to me. punctured lungs can and do heal perfectly well. crazy.

True…maybe he had some nasty infection or something. “Complications” can be a lot of things.

Man, I’m glad I finally saw these guys for the first time a few months ago. LeRoi was tearing it up at that show. Him and violin guy are really the keys to most of the sweet DMB jams that I remember. What a bummer…

I have this strange habit of seeing people for the first time before they die. I saw DMB for the first time before LeRoi died. I saw the Who for the first time soon before Entwistle died. I also saw James Brown for the first time soon before he died. Heck, I was on top of the World Trade Center a month before it went down. I think I’m cursed…

Stevo

terrible news. a very talented artist. gonna miss that guy
