John Garner, who became one of the unheralded bricklayers at the foundation of heavy metal in his role as lead singer and drummer for cult ‘70s powerhouse Sir Lord Baltimore, has died of liver failure, reports Eduardo Rivadavia of Ultimate Classic Rock.

Reached for comment, Sir Lord Baltimore’s onetime Svengali, Mike Appel, reasserted his original enthusiasm for SLB’s visionary music and raw talent, stating they were “unsung heroes of the classic rock era” and confirming that Garner’s body will be flown home to New York from the site of his passing, in Tampa Florida, for burial in Staten Island.
