Steve Harwell, the former singer of the popular rock band in the late 90's to early 2000's Smash Mouth, has sadly passed away today. He is 56 years old.

My fond memories with Smash Mouth and Steve Harwell was the songs "I'm a Believer" and "All Star", mostly because of Shrek played those songs. As a kid, I bopped at All Star at the beginning of the Shrek because I thought it was so catchy and cool. However, I'm a Believer will always be my favorite song from Smash Mouth.

It's really sad to see a late 90's-early 00's rock legend like Steve Harwell is no longer with us. He may be gone, but the legacy will live on forever.

What do you guys think? Favorite song? Favorite memory from Smash Mouth? Let me know.

Rest in peace, Steve.

Thank you for the memories.

Sad to hear. His two hits are those that make you feel young again. RIP.

"All Star" is everyone's (and also my) favorite song of Smash Mouth, and also is remembered not only because of Shrek, but because of the internet culture (including memes).

I remember when this band had guest-starred in one episode of "Kim Possible", such a good time.

The surprisingly sad thing is that Steve Harwell died sooner than the doctors had indicated he had a week to live. May he rest in peace.

The songs were good, especially All Star and Shrek songs. Rest in peace.

They never had much chart or sales success in the UK (no idea if they've ever played here either), but even so they were inescapable for the first half of the 00s, you couldn't spend long in a shop, watch many adverts or watch most new films (and any new films aimed at kids or teens) without hearing his distinctive voice. I won't pretend they were my favourite band at the time, but it became hard not to have a bit of affection for them in retrospect, and even more so now. R.I.P.

"All Star" was also used in "Mystery Men".

May his legacy live on.

+1, I agree as well as Gary Wright's legacy. Gary Wright, known for his big hit "Dream Weaver", passed a couple of days after Steve Harwell.
