Steve Harwell, best known for being the singer of the band Smash Mouth, is in his final days due to a battle with liver failure. His family has gathered by his bedside to say goodbye after he was moved from a hospital to a hospice.
Steve's reps released a statement asking for privacy for the star and his family as he is resting at home with his fiancé and hospice care. His manager has confirmed that he only has 'a week or so' to live, and that he has struggled with alcohol abuse his entire life.
It comes almost two years after Steve decided to retire after a messy performance where he was allegedly seen insulting audience members at a gig. A fan posted a video on TikTok in October 2021 describing her experience at one of the band's concerts. Technical issues and Steve's behavior during the performance including microphone feedback, unintelligible speech, speakers blowing out, a Nazi salute, and calling an audience member a 'f**king nutbag' caused the singer to announce his retirement.
In a statement, Steve said, “Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a Rockstar performing in front of sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to live out that dream. To my bandmates, it’s been an honour performing with you all these years and I can’t think of anyone else I would have rather gone on this wild journey with.”
Steve Harwell's fans and family have been sending their prayers and best wishes as he enters his final days. His family is asking for respect and privacy during this difficult time for the star and his loved ones.
