Former Smash Mouth Lead Singer Steve Harwell Enters Hospice for Liver Failure
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that former Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell has entered hospice care for liver failure. Those close to him reveal that his time with us is limited, and we cherish every moment we have left with him.
“Although Steve is here with us still, sadly it will only be for a short time,” band manager Robert Hayes told People magazine. “Steve is resting at home being cared for by his fiancé and hospice care.”
A Musical Journey Cut Short
Harwell, 56, departed Smash Mouth almost two years ago following a controversial performance at a beer and wine festival. Despite his departure, the band has continued to thrive with vocalist Zach Goode taking the helm.
Throughout his life, Harwell has battled various health issues, including cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and Wernicke’s encephalopathy. TMZ reports that his manager believes he may only have a week left to live.
Recently, Harwell has also struggled with substance abuse problems, receiving treatment for liver failure at a hospital.
A Legacy of Music
Smash Mouth, formed in the mid-1990s, rose to fame with their hit single “All Star,” which gained even more popularity through its appearance in the first Shrek film. The band’s unique blend of pop and rock sounds helped shape the music of the early 2000s.
“Steve had one of the most recognizable voices of his generation,” Hayes expressed in his statement to People. “He adored his fans and cherished every moment on stage. His music will forever be his legacy.”
“All my thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are with my friend Steve Harwell,” Poison frontman Bret Michaels posted on social media. “I know you’re a fighter, keep fighting my brother.”
Our hearts go out to Steve Harwell and his loved ones during this difficult time. Let us remember him for the incredible music he shared with the world.
