Steve Harwell, the singer and frontman of chart-topping Pop Rock Band Smash Mouth has died. He was 56. Just a day after his team announced he had days to live due to a long battle with illness brought on from drug and alcohol abuse. This plays, in contrast, catchy and sunnier retro rock nature of the band that rocketed to fame on the back of their cover of The Monkees’ biggest hit “I’m A Believer” from the movie Shrek. The band paid tribute to their fallen friend on their socials and urged fans to remember the rags-to-riches story of an unlikely star and not how he passed at the end. RIP.
