Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell has died at the age of 56.
According to Smash Mouth’s manager, Robert Hayes, Harwell “passed peacefully and comfortably” at his home in Boise, Idaho on Monday, September 4th.
Harwell recently began hospice care due to liver failure. Additionally, he suffered from cardiomyopathy and Wernicke’s encephalopathy.
Born January 9th, 1967, in Santa Clara, California, Steven Scott Harwell actually began his career as a rapper. His group Freedom of Speech (F.O.S.) recorded one song, “Big Black Boots,” that earned them some local radio play and scored Harwell a manager before he set his sights on alternative rock.
Harwell formed Smash Mouth in 1994, teaming with drummer Kevin Coleman, guitarist Greg Camp, and bassist Paul De Lisle. Their debut album, Fush Mu Yang, arrived three years later, and featured the single “Walkin’ on the Sun,” which hit No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Modern Rock chart.

Taylor Schilling, Zac Efron, The Lucky One movie Think Like A Man Breaks Record At no. 2 this weekend, the Zac Efron romantic movie The Lucky One collected $22.51 million at 3,115 sites, averaging a good $7,137 per-location according to box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Following a solid opening on Friday, The Lucky One was expected to gross somewhere between $22-25 million by Sunday evening. It failed to reach the higher mark because, unlike the weekend’s other top-twelve movies, it was down on Saturday (-6%). Best known as the leading lady in the nearly universally panned film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s libertarian novel Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, Taylor Schilling plays Zac Efron’s love interest in this nearly universally panned adaptation of Nicholas Sparks‘ tearjerking novel — The Lucky One has a dismal 16% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics. Now, even though this may sound bad for Schilling, it’s anything but.

Zac Efron, The Lucky One Think Like A Man Box Office: Strong Overperformer At no. 2 on Friday, the Zac Efron romantic melodrama The Lucky One collected $9.13 million at 3,115 sites (about 1,000 more locations than Think Like a Man), averaging a good $2,894 per-venue according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The Lucky One is expected to score somewhere between $22-25 million by Sunday evening. Best known as the leading lady in the nearly universally panned film adaptation of Ayn Rand's sprawling libertarian novel Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, Taylor Schilling plays Zac Efron's love interest in this nearly universally panned adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' tearjerking novel. Even though this may sound bad for Schilling, it's not — at all. The Lucky One was a smart, high-profile career move following Atlas Shrugged, a critical and box-office disaster admired only by the American far-right.

Zac Efron, The Lucky One Box Office: Think Like A Man Beats The Lucky One At no. 2 this weekend, The Lucky One is expected to take in $25 million (up from an estimated $22 million a few hours ago) after collecting $8.8 million at 3,115 sites (about 1,000 more than Think Like a Man) on Friday according to estimates found at Deadline.com. Taylor Schilling, probably best known as the leading lady in the nearly universally panned film adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, plays Zac Efron's love interest in this nearly universally panned adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' romantic novel. (This may sound bad for Schilling, but it's not. The Lucky One was a smart, high-profile career move following the Atlas Shrugged critical and box-office disaster.) The Lucky One has a mere 16% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes' top critics — Think Like a Man is an instant classic by comparison. Yet, even after adjusting for inflation,...
