American stoner rockers Sir Lord Baltimore have lost their founding member and drummer/vocalist John Garner. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Garner died of liver failure after spending several days in a coma. He formed the band in 1968 with guitarist Louis Dambra and bassist Gary Justin. They recorded Kingdom Come in 1970 and followed it in 1971 with their self-titled sequel. They split in 1976 and Garner resurrected the group for 2006's III Raw. Back in the day, Sir Lord Baltimore toured with Black Sabbath in the U.S. as well.
