"Steve has been retired from Smash Mouth for two years now, and the band continues to tour with new vocalist Zach Goode," Hayes told Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n

"That said, Steve's legacy will live on through the music. With Steve, Smash Mouth has sold over 10 Million albums worldwide-wide and topped the charts with two #1 hit singles, five Top 40 singles, three Hot 100 Singles, four Billboard 200 albums and a Grammy nomination not to mention the hundreds of films and television placements and of course those musical features in Shrek.<\/p>\n

"Steve's iconic voice is one of the most recognizable voices from his generation," Smash Mouth's manager added.<\/p>\n

DAYS TO LIVE<\/h2>\n

Harwell's death comes after TMZ reported the All Star singer had days to live after entering hospice care.<\/p>\n

Hayes previously told the outlet that Harwell\u2019s family had been saying their final goodbye following the tragic news.<\/p>\n

He had been receiving treatment at the hospital before being admitted to hospice care.<\/p>\n

The rock star had health issues stemming from alcohol abuse and battled liver failure.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Harwell appeared to be disorientated, slurring his words during a live gig in Syracuse, New York.<\/p>\n

Following the alarming moment, the singer announced his retirement from music, telling TMZ at the time: "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.<\/p>\n

"To my bandmates, it\u2019s been an honor performing with you all these years, and I can\u2019t think of anyone else I would have rather gone on this wild journey with."<\/p>\n

Smash Mouth was behind huge hits in the early 2000s, such as All Star and I\u2019m a Believer \u2013 a cover of the song made famous by The Monkees.<\/p>\n

All Star was used in the opening of the classic movie Shrek. <\/p>\n
