Steve Harwell, the 56-year-old lead singer of the iconic band Smash Mouth, is currently in hospice care, with just a few days left to live, according to a spokesperson for the band.

Harwell is in the final stages of liver failure, following a period of medical treatment at a hospital, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Over the past three days, family and friends have been visiting Harwell, as he has been given the grim prognosis of having “only a week or so to live,” according to sources.

The spokesperson emphasised the need for privacy during this challenging period for Harwell and his family.

This tragic news comes after several years of severe health challenges for the musician. Harwell’s health struggles became evident when he collapsed onstage during a concert in Urbana, Illinois, in August 2016.

Subsequently, in the following year, the band had to postpone several shows due to Harwell’s hospitalisation, as he experienced breathing difficulties during a sound check before a performance in Memphis, Tennessee.

Steve Harwell, a founding member of Smash Mouth, known for chart-topping hits like “I’m a Believer” and “All Star,” initially announced a hiatus from the band in October 2021.

His representative informed TMZ that he was grappling with heart failure and cardiomyopathy, conditions diagnosed in 2015.

Soon after, Harwell officially retired from Smash Mouth due to persistent medical issues, including acute Wernicke’s encephalopathy, a disorder affecting motor functions. His journey has also been marked by battles with addiction.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
