Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell, the “All Star” singer of the band popular in the 1990s and 2000s, has died. He was 56.
His death was confirmed in a statement to Rolling Stone on Monday. Smash Mouth’s manager Robert Hayes said he “passed peacefully and comfortably” at home in Boise, Idaho, “surrounded by friends and family.”
“Steve Harwell was a true American Original,” the statement read. “A larger-than-life character who shot up into the sky like a Roman candle. 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 [cojones]. Steve lived a 100 percent full-throttle life. Burning brightly across the universe before burning out.”
A cause of death was not given.
