Who is the lead singer of the Dave Matthews band?

Answer 1

No. Stefan Lessard, the bassist for Dave Matthews Band, lost his daughter Aslan to SIDS in 1996. Dave Matthews older sister Anne was murdered by her husband in 1994. The false rumor about Dave Matthews losing a child probably resulted from confusing two separate tragedies. Matthews has twin daughters, Stella Busina and Grace Anne, born in 2001.

Answer 2

LeRoi Moore - (the following was taken straight from the Dave Matthews Band web site...

We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program. 08/20/2008 We would like to take a moment at this sad time to thank everyone for the outpouring of condolences and notes celebrating LeRoi's life. Thank you for the many inquiries we have received about making a gift in LeRoi's name. A fund has been created in honor of LeRoi Moore in support of charities that reflect both his spirit and passion.
