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.
