Not entirely unexpected; his health has made the news quite a lot. Unexpected, however, that it'd be so soon.
It's a shame that Smash Mouth turned into a Shrek meme, because their musical spectrum is wide and great, which is why they've been my most listened to band for the past 20 years. I urge everyone who only ever heard "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" to explore their discography (up until 2006).
Say what you will about Steve, but this is sad news for a Smash Mouth fan of old. Greg Camp made Smash Mouth, but Steve gave it a voice.
The lyrics to some of their songs will hit harder from now on. "Fallen Horses" will never be the same again.
Edit: And there it is. He’s passed already, hopefully reunited with his son. RIP, Steve. You’ll forever be an All Star.
