Smash Mouth made less than £500,000 from featuring hit song All Star in Shrek

When 90's kids think of Smash Mouth, they think of Shrek's famous theme song 'All Star'.

The singer 'passed peacefully and comfortably', while surrounded by family and friends, Hayes added.

“Steve Harwell was a true American Original. A larger than life character who shot up into the sky like a Roman candle,” the band manager said in a statement.

“Steve should be remembered for his unwavering focus and impassioned determination to reach the heights of pop stardom.

“And the fact that he achieved this near-impossible goal with very limited musical experience makes his accomplishments all the more remarkable.

“His only tools were his irrepressible charm and charisma, his fearlessly reckless ambition, and his king-size cajones.

“Steve lived a 100 percent full-throttle life.

“Burning brightly across the universe before burning out.

“Good night Heevo Veev.

“Rest in peace knowing you aimed for the stars, and magically hit your target.

“He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.”

Well, without a doubt, the band's most famous song is 'All Star' - from their second studio album, Astro Lounge in 1999.

Through royalties and soundtrack sales, Smash Mouth made a reported $500,000 (£395,870) from the film, according to Forbes.

While half a million dollars is still a lot of money, considering how successful the film was, you'd expect that amount to be a lot higher.

Reports suggest that Harwell's net-worth at the time of his passing was in the region of $2.5 million.

Another added: "He will always be an All Star, rest in peace legend."

While a third said: "An absolute legend; 'All Star' will continue to be played even when we too, are gone. RIP and thanks for the memories!"

"Steve Harwell, the legendary cofounder of Smash Mouth, gifted us countless catchy melodies," wrote someone else.
