Steve Harwell, the retired musician best known as the longtime frontman of Smash Mouth, is at home in hospice after serious health complications.

EW can confirm that Harwell is in the final stages of liver failure after receiving treatment in a hospital. A representative for the band also confirmed that he is back home with "only a week or so to live," with friends and loved ones gathering to see Harwell for the past 3 days.

"We hope that people respect Steve and his family's privacy during this difficult time," added the representative. 

Harwell was previously hospitalized in August 2016 after collapsing mid-concert in Urbana, Ill. and being rushed away in an ambulance. In 2017, the Smash Mouth postponed several performances while Harwell underwent treatment for heart problems.
