Dave Matthews Band performed on Tuesday night in Los Angeles despite the loss

The show must go on. I respect them a lot for performing. Took some grit. Good on them. Sorry for the loss.

That man could play a sax. No doubt about it.

God speed, Le Roi.

My son-in-law is a part-time violinist/musician, and a rabid fan of this band. He is in shock and mourning for LeRoi. The man was very talented, and it's a great loss for us all...

RIP LeRoi...

Pulmonary embolism, no doubt. He’d recently suffered trauma from an ATV accident.

Wow...sad. Used to listen to them a lot, always liked his portions of their songs. Regardless of their personal political slants, they did put on a pretty good show with no loud-mouthing. Prayers for the bandmates, too. They always seemed like a really tight-knit band.

Very sad. I’ve seen the band at least 10 times - they’re great live (no pun intended). What a loss!

Very sad... DMB was basically the soundtrack to my high school years. RIP
