Smash Mouth's Steve Harwell 'Just Fine' Following Hospitalization & Concert Cancelations
Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth performs at the Summer Concert Series at The Park at The Grove on July 20, 2016 in Los Angeles.
Smash Mouth called
off its Memphis, Tenn., show Thursday night (Aug. 31) when frontman
Steve Harwell paid a visit to the hospital due to difficulty breathing, TMZ reports.
Harwell's manager confirms to Billboard
that he was taken to the hospital, but says it "was not an emergency
situation." The singer was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease of
the heart muscle that can makes it hard for the heart to deliver blood
to the body, two years ago.
"Whenever he is not feeling great we
take precautionary measures just to make sure everything is OK,
especially while he is on the road touring," he explains. "The doctor is
running some tests but he appears to be just fine and intends to resume
the tour tomorrow night in Portsmouth, Ohio. We are rescheduling the
show for tonight in Edwardsville, Ill."
"Sorry to inform we have to postpone tonight's show at the Wildey
Theatre/Edwardsville due to an illness. New date will post soon," the
band had tweeted on Friday. A few hours later came a brief update: "Doing better folks!"
Rescheduled dates for the postponed concerts have not been announced as of press time.
