Since 2021, Harwell had announced his retirement from the stage due to health and behavioral problems, derived from his alcohol abuse. The singer was facing heart disease and Wernicke’s encephalopathy, a condition that affects brain and motor capacity.
These problems manifested themselves at his last concert with Smash Mouth, where he was seen disoriented, babbling songs and even confronting the audience.
