tells TMZ he's retiring, saying ..."Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a Rockstar performing in front of sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to live out that dream. To my bandmates, it’s been an honor performing with you all these years and I can’t think of anyone else I would have rather gone on this wild journey with."His decision comes after video of the band's performance this weekend in upstate New York went viral due to Steve's behavior on stage ...
A source close to the band tells us ... Steve knew it was time to hang it up after the show, because it's impossible for him to keep performing as his health continues to deteriorate. We're told he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy 8 years ago, which has led to other medical setbacks like heart failure and Wernicke's encephalopathy ... a condition that impacts his motor functions, including speech and memory. He's also battled substance abuse over the years, which is further contributing to his health crisis.
Steve says ..."To our loyal and amazing fans, thank you, all of this was possible because of you. I’ve tried so hard to power through my physical and mental health issues, and to play in front of you one last time, but I just wasn't able to." He adds that he's incredibly grateful to everyone who's contributed to Smash Mouth's success over the years, and to"those who have kept 'All Star' relevant as one of the top memes on the internet today."

Band should have retired a decade ago...they've always sucked.
Wernickies. Iykyk
“Deteriorating Health”…. Nothing to do with the completely blitzed performance the other day.
Lolol he caught covid after being a Trumper. Shape of an L on his forehead.
Sorry the guy is sick. I only know this band because of Shrek song. He must have a bit of an ego problem because he seems to be speaking to a billion caring fans and I am thinking he is still delusional with this announcement.
