Former Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell died early Monday at his home in Boise, Idaho, a representative confirmed to CBS News. He was 56.

The artist — whose band is known for hits including “All Star” and “Walkin’ on the Sun” — had been in hospice care, according to representative Robert Hayes.

A cause of death was not released.

“He was surrounded by family and friends and passed peacefully and comfortably,” Hayes said Monday.
