Smash Mouth :(

[Melooon]

Im sure by now most of you have heard that the lead singer of SmashMouth passed away  I dont know much about him or what he got upto later in life, but I thought it was sad anyway!

Im not normally the type to be upset about celebrities, but I think over the years Iv internalised the lyrics of All Star so much that its a shock that the person singing it might ever have an end 

Anyway; feel free to share your favourite Smash Mouth songs, stories or trivia etc!

Smash Mouth - All Star (1999)

I'm heartbroken hearing this news. Rest in Peace Steve Harwell. :"( It's terrible... his passing is not something I expected to happen so soon. All-Star is such an iconic song, and it feels surreal knowing the person who sang it is now no longer with us.

I've listened to a couple of Smash Mouth albums before. One of my other favourite songs of theirs is "Hang On", and I mostly remember it from that cheesy Cat in the Hat movie from 2003. Hearing this song now is quite nostalgic, makes me think back to the good memories I have of growing up in the 2000s.

Smash Mouth - Hang On

Sad news.
I listened to their first album, Fush Yu Mang, a lot around the same time that I started using the computer (circa 1997).

I've been listening to the Best of album I have since hearing the news. Smash Mouth were a very underated band. They had great songs that wasn't All Star or Believer!

I've never listened much to Smash Mouth, but I think the saddest part about this is that his death was caused by his immense drinking habits. Apparently, he's been drinking ever since his son died

His son died? When was this?

His son died? When was this?

He had a son named Presley who died after only being alive for six months due to leukemia. Here's an article about it if you're curious.
