Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell retires, focusing on 'physical and mental health' following 'chaotic' video

Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell has retired to focus on his "physical and mental health." The decision comes after a video surfaced of the musician slurring his words and threatening his audience.

"Steve has been dealing with long-term medical issues over the last eight years and during his last performance at the Big Sip stage, he suffered numerous symptoms directly linked with his current medical situation," the rep said. "As of today, Steve will be retiring from Smash Mouth to focus on his physical and mental health."

On Oct. 9, the band performed at the Big Sip festival in upstate New York where Harwell slurred his words, threatened the audience and gave some crude gestures to the crowd. The video was taken by a TikTok user who goes by the name Haley, who called it "chaotic."
