Smash Mouth is also known for the 1999 hit song “All Star,” which was featured in the 2001 animated movie “Shrek.”
“Steve’s iconic voice is one of the most recognizable voices from his generation. Steve loved the fans and loved to perform,” he added.
Hayes concluded, “Although Steve is here with us still, sadly it will only be for a short time. My only additional comment is that we would hope that people would respect Steve and his family’s privacy during this difficult time.”
