Former Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell is receiving hospice care treatment at home, a representative confirmed to CBS News Sunday.

The artist — whose band is known for hits including “All Star” and “Walkin’ on the Sun” — is being cared for by his fiancé, according to representative Robert Hayes.

Harwell was previously diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease.

    It’s not an excuse for him. Nobody gets a free pass for being shitty. Give credit to people who can rise above shitty situations.

    But I hate your line of thinking. I’ve seen it used to bash suicide victims too. Everyone handles mental health differently.

      Nnnnoooo, there’s sympathy for people who commit suicide. There is no sympathy for Nazis. I’ve known that dealt with extreme depression and didn’t make it but I can tell you they didn’t throw nazi salutes during their long fight.

        Once again, that line of thinking “I faced this and I never…” is the EXACT same line of thinking people use against suicide victims.

        People are responsible for their actions. I’m just advising against the anti-empathy line of thinking where people can’t even imagine that others’ experiences are different. Because usually I hear it when people put down suicide victims.
