Steve Harwell, the lead singer of Smash Mouth passed away at the age of 56 following liver failure. He had been battling alcoholism for years, and it took his life yesterday.

Using elements of pop, punk, ska and alternative rock, Smash Mouth first hit it big in 1997, with their hit, “Walkin’ on the Sun” that topped the U.S. Alt-Rock Chart. Their second album saw two of their singles reach the mainstream charts, “All Star” and “Then the Morning Comes”. Their last significant hit was a cover of the Monkees’ “I’m A Believer” in 2001. Harwell retired in 2021 from health issues, last having performed while intoxicated at a festival.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Steve Harwell.
