<\/p>\nHEARTBROKEN fans have flooded Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell's final post with condolences after his death on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Harwell died at his home in Boise, Idaho, from liver failure. He was only 56.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
His death came two years after he had retired from playing with the band. <\/p>\n
He received hospice care before his band manager confirmed his death.<\/p>\n
Fans took to social media to thank him for his career as hit singles like All Star continue to influence pop culture.<\/p>\n
In his now-heartbreaking final post, Harwell revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the band was still enjoying millions of streams on Spotify.<\/p>\n
In the comments underneath the post, fans are sharing memories as they revisit the discography of the '90s California rock band.<\/p>\n
"I wish you well mate. You were the ultimate All Star," one fan said.<\/p>\n
Others thanked him for the joy that his music brought and said they felt like they lost a friend.<\/p>\n
"Much love to you. You were a big part of my childhood," someone else wrote.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Thank you for everything, Steve. Your songs brightened up my darkest days," another heartbroken fan said.<\/p>\n Harwell died peacefully surrounded by family and friends, the band's manager Robert Hayes told Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n "Steve's legacy will live on through the music," Hayes said.<\/p>\n With Harwell at center stage, Smash Mouth sold over 10million albums worldwide and topped the charts with two #1 hit singles.<\/p>\n They were featured in multiple television shows and films, including an iconic spot in Shrek which introduced a younger audience to the band.<\/p>\n "Steve's iconic voice is one of the most recognizable voices from his generation," Smash Mouth's manager said.<\/p>\n "He loved the fans and loved to perform. Steve Harwell was a true American Original."<\/p>\n Harwell's death comes just years after he appeared to be disorientated during a live gig in Syracuse, New York, in 2021.<\/p>\n The singer said he was retiring following the moment.<\/p>\n Ongoing health issues influenced his decision to retire as he suffered from cardiomyopathy and Wernicke encephalopathy which can affect motor functions.<\/p>\n In 2021, he paid tribute to his bandmates, saying: "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![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/RW-COMP-KEANEv2.jpg\")
