    LOS ANGELES (AP) - LeRoi Moore, saxophone player for the Dave Matthews Band, died Tuesday of injuries suffered in an accident on an all-terrain vehicle in June. He was 46.

    Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, the band said on its Web site.

    He was initially hospitalized in late June after the accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va. He had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical rehabilitation when complications forced him back into the hospital Sunday.

    It was not immediately clear what the complications were. A message left with Hollywood Presbyterian was not immediately returned.

    Ambrosia Healy, the band's publicist, says the group's show Tuesday night in Los Angeles has not been canceled.

    Not Highjacking but Seattle also lost a musician today:

    Joe Shikany passed away:

    SEATTLE - A Seattle musician was killed by a falling tree brought down by lightning.


    Joe Shikany was sitting on the porch of a house at a lake in Spokane on Monday when lightning hit a nearby tree.


    Shikany played guitar and bass in several Seattle bands. He was scheduled to perform this week in Seattle, Shoreline and Bothell.


    Shikany has also toured in England and Holland
