Barnaby Charles Ward, aka Baterz, was an Australian musician born in Canberra on July 3, 1969.[1] He was a founding member of cult band The Bedridden and garnered an enthusiastic following as a solo performer.[2] Baterz was born with haemophilia, a hereditary disease which affects the ability of the blood to clot. In 1984 Baterz was diagnosed with HIV infection, contracted via a routine blood transfusion a year earlier.[2] In 2002 he was diagnosed with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; he died that year in Adelaide on Monday July 22.[3]
