Steve Harwell, the former lead singer of Smash Mouth, is currently in hospice care and his condition is deteriorating rapidly. According to reports, he may only have a week left to live due to liver failure. Harwell, 56, has battled alcoholism throughout his life and had previously sought treatment for his liver issues. Unfortunately, the disease has progressed too far for any viable treatment options.
During the past three days, Harwell has been under hospice care at his home, where his loved ones have gathered to support him during this difficult time. It’s a heartbreaking situation for the musician and his family.
This news comes nearly two years after Harwell retired from Smash Mouth, the band he fronted in the 1990s. The band gave us iconic hits like “All Star,” “Walkin’ on the Sun,” and their popular cover of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer,” which was featured in the movie “Shrek.”
Harwell’s decision to retire was influenced by a troubling performance at a music festival in upstate New York. During the show, he slurred his words, made crude gestures towards fans, and even threatened the audience. It was clear that his long-term health issues, exacerbated by his alcoholism, had caught up with him.
Unfortunately, Harwell has been dealing with additional health problems as well. He was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy ten years ago, and as a result, he has suffered from heart failure and acute Wernicke encephalopathy. These conditions have greatly affected his motor functions and impaired his speech and memory.
It’s a reminder of the consequences that long-term addiction can have on a person’s health. Harwell’s story serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of seeking help for substance abuse and taking action to prioritize one’s well-being.
Our thoughts go out to Steve Harwell and his loved ones during this difficult time.
