RAMROD 105,581 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 UPDATE: ========= Steve Harwell is experiencing the last chapter of his life -- this after battling medical complications for years -- and his family is saying their goodbyes ... TMZ has learned. A manager for the Smash Mouth lead singer tells us Steve has been struggling with alcohol abuse throughout his life -- and now, he's reached the final stage of liver failure ... for which he'd, up until recently, been receiving treatment at a hospital. At this point, we're told SH is in hospice at home ... where his friends and loved ones have gathered over the past 3 days. Steve's manager says he likely has only a week or so to live. This news comes almost 2 years after a troubling incident involving Steve ... where he appeared incredibly disoriented during a live performance, slurring his words and yelling at the audience. It was concerning at the time, and shortly thereafter ... he said he was retiring. At the time, sources close to Steve told us he'd been battling ongoing health issues -- stemming from a number of diagnoses he'd received over the years, including cardiomyopathy, heart failure and Wernicke's encephalopathy. His substance abuse was also mentioned to us back then ... which we were told had contributed to his declining state. Smash Mouth contributed some of the biggest pop culture hits in the early 2000s -- including, of course, "All Star," "I'm a Believer" and others ... some of which were featured in "Shrek." Steve is only 56 years old. https://www.tmz.com/2023/09/03/smash-mouth-steve-harwell-death-bed-days-to-live/ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝓂𝑒 𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝐹𝒶𝒾𝓇 (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLuna 12,732 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Steve Harwell, the former lead singer of the rock group Smash Mouth, died Monday, his manager tells CNN. He was 56. No cause of death was shared, but Harwell had been receiving hospice care over the weekend. He died at his home in Boise, Idaho, with family and friends by his side, according Robert Hayes, the manager of Smash Mouth. “Steve Harwell was a true American Original. A larger than life character who shot up into the sky like a Roman candle,” Hayes said in a statement to CNN. “Steve should be remembered for his unwavering focus and impassioned determination to reach the heights of pop stardom. And the fact that he achieved this near-impossible goal with very limited musical experience makes his accomplishments all the more remarkable. His only tools were his irrepressible charm and charisma, his fearlessly reckless ambition, and his king-size cajones.” https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/steve-harwell-smash-mouth-singer-dead-at-56-1.6547232 RIP Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
