Smash Mouth has been giving fans major hits since being formed in 1994. They also became a significant part of most people's childhoods because most of them grew up listening to their songs.
Although Smash Mouth is still present to this date, fans still want to hear about former members, but unfortunately, one of them is reportedly on his deathbed; what happened?
According to a report published by Just Jared, former vocalist and co-founder Steve Harwell is dying soon due to his current medical condition.
His family is said to be preparing themselves for what's coming next as the singer has been having medical complications over the past few years.
A manager for the group told the outlet that the musician had problems with alcohol throughout his life to the point that he reached the last stage of liver failure.

The manager then revealed that Harwell is getting all the medical attention needed at a hospital and was later placed under hospice care at his home.
Over the past few days, friends and family have been by his side because he doesn't have much time left due to his health complications.
It was estimated that Harwell only has a week left to live.
Steve Harwell Retirement From Smash Mouth
The recent health update from Steve Harwell comes a few years after he took the stage of The Big Sip Festival at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in New York where his performance was described as "chaotic" by online fans.
At the time, the musician had problems with speaking to the crowd as most of the words coming out of his mouth were slurred.
There was also a point wherein he shouted curse words towards the attendees and even threatened to kill them.
Following that specific performance, Smash Mouth's publicist announced that Harwell would be retiring from his duties as a vocalist to focus on his physical and mental health because prior to that, he had suffered from "long term medical issues."
"Steve has been dealing with long term medical issues over the last 8 years and during his last performance he suffered numerous symptoms directly linked with his current medical situation," the announcement reads. (via SFGate)
