A Chaotic Journey: Resurfaced Videos Show Smash Mouth Singer’s Troubled Past

A video that went viral online almost two years ago, which led to Smash Mouth singer Steve ⁤Harwell⁢ leaving​ the group, is making its rounds again.

CNN reported Harwell, ⁣56, died on ‌Monday. He had been given only days to live and was under hospice care while dealing with end-stage‌ liver failure.

The‍ “All Star” singer had reportedly struggled with ⁢alcohol abuse for years —‍ along with numerous other health issues, including⁣ heart failure.

Harwell ⁤quit the band that ⁢made him famous in 2021 following a​ chaotic concert in New York.

Video of the concert shows the singer making extreme ⁤remarks to concertgoers⁤ and‍ holding beer throughout ‍the show.

The ⁤concert was also plagued by sound issues while Harwell appeared inebriated.

WARNING: The following⁢ video⁤ contains language that might offend some viewers.

In one moment during the​ show, Harwell appeared to say, “I’ll f***ing kill your‍ whole⁣ family.”

At another moment he declared, “We’re going‌ to Greece,”​ and he ⁣also put ⁤his ‌middle fingers up and said to those in the crowd, “F*** you, b****es.”

Harwell quickly quit the⁢ band in a statement released through a representative that was obtained by the New ⁣York Post.

“Steve has been dealing⁢ with long-term medical issues over the last eight years, and ⁢during‌ his last performance at ⁣the⁣ Big Sip ⁢stage, he suffered numerous symptoms directly linked with his⁣ current medical situation,”‌ the representative said.

The statement concluded, “As of today, Steve will be retiring from Smash Mouth⁤ to focus on​ his physical and mental health.”

Another person close to the singer also ⁢said that Harwell’s behavior was ‌not shown⁢ in its⁢ proper⁤ context.

“This unfortunate recording has now been taken out of context and his ailments‍ used against him to paint him as someone⁢ who he isn’t,” the source said.

There appeared to be ‍no bad blood between Harwell ⁣and the other members of the band, who had been together since the ⁣middle of the ⁣1990s.

In his own statement, Harwell later said being affiliated with the group‍ was ‍“an honor.”

“Ever since I was a kid, I ⁤dreamed of being a rock star, performing in front of‌ sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to⁣ live out that dream,” Harwell said. “To my ⁣bandmates, it’s been an ⁤honor performing with you all these years, and I can’t think⁣ of anyone else I would have rather gone ​on this wild journey​ with.”

According​ to TMZ, Harwell was ‌surrounded by his ⁣family in the‌ days before his death.
