    STEVE HARWELL, WHO cofounded the band Smash Mouth in 1994, has died at the age of 56, band manager Robert Hayes confirmed. The musician, best known for hits like “All Star” and “I’m a Believer,” died at his home in Boise, ID “surrounded by family and friends.”

    Harwell had been in hospice care following medical complications. The cause of death was liver failure, Hayes told Rolling Stone.

    Hayes said Harwell “passed peacefully and comfortably.” In a statement to Rolling Stone, he offered a lengthy tribute to the artist, who was a staple of Nineties rock music and saw success with multiple albums and singles, selling more than 10 million albums with his band worldwide.

    RIP feel bad for his friends in family but from what I was reading he was stating to lose it near the end.

    He went down the bad route cause his kid died

    The death of their son seemed too much for Harwell and then-wife Michelle Laroque to bear, and their marriage ultimately ended in divorce.

    Sounds like his "fast life" was largely a response to tragedy...not exactly the rock 'n' roll lifestyle we usually think of. Man, that's rough.
