Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell dies at 56
2023-09-05
Way, way too young...
By Tiffany Wertheimer & Mark Savage
[BBC] Steve Harwell, the lead singer of US band Smash Mouth, has died at the age of 56.

The band's manager had earlier said Harwell was in the final stages of liver failure and was receiving end of life care at his home.

In a statement Robert Hayes said Harwell died at his home in Idaho, "surrounded by family and friends".

Smash Mouth had a string of hits in the 1990s and 2000s with All Star, Walkin' on the Sun and I'm a Believer.

Hayes added that "Steve lived a 100% full-throttle life. Burning brightly across the universe before burning out".

Harwell retired from the band in 2021 over physical and mental health issues.

...Bluntly, he crawled inside a bottle a decade or two back and stayed there.

I don't understand. I will never understand.
