Steve Wright has died 💔

I heard it a few minutes ago and was shocked, sounds like it was sudden as he was on air on Sunday I believe. Used to love his afternoon show.

RIP

Always listened to ‘Steve Wright in the afternoon ‘ - R.I.P.

Oh no! Steve Wright in the Afternoon 😢

Shocked to hear this on the news at 5pm, thought I had misheard at first. Only 69. RIP Steve

Goodness that’s a shock. He was a day younger than me.
RIP.

I'm shocked and so sad. Steve Wright in the afternoon was a wonderful show. He was a great DJ and part of my teenage years and beyond.

I feel shocked and sad. I loved Steve Wright’s afternoon programme and was angry when it was axed.

RIP Steve. You will be missed.

I will miss his Sunday morning love songs, RIP Steve.

Although he wasn’t one of my favourites, he was a stalwart of Radio 2 and will be much missed. I’m shocked to hear this. RIP.

Have listened to his Sunday Morning Love Songs for about 25 years.

It sounds as if it was very sudden.
Thank you for the music Steve.

RIP 💐 he will greatly missed.

Will miss his wit and humour. How sad such a big part of my life

What a shock to read this. A huge part of my past and he will be missed.

So sad, I used to listen to him in the afternoon.

My dear late husband and I used to listen to Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs on Radio 2. LH was a real romantic and I am sure we have a CD of the programme somewhere. Over 5 yrs since DH died and I know I would really struggle to listen to those songs now. Very sad news about Steve Wright.

Oh this is too sad. I grew up listening to him.
Brilliant DJ.

Very sad to hear this.
Younger than me.
RIP Steve.

So sad.. Not my favourite DJ but a legend on the Radio. RIP

So sad, I stopped listening to radio 2 when they axed his show along with the other radio 2 ‘stalwarts’ that I had listened to for so many years.

Oh dear, that's a shock and only 69. RIP .

Shocked. Haven’t listened to radio 2 in the afternoons since his show was taken off the air. Well, tried once and never again. Listened to his Sunday morning show and pick of the pops on Saturday afternoons only last weekend. Will be sorely missed. One of the best DJs.

Hi, Puzzlelove, I'm not 100% sure but I think SW's Sunday Love Songs is pre recorded, I'm not sure about Pick of the Pops. Still pretty unexpected though.

I'm so sorry to hear that he has died, I enjoyed his afternoon show. I left Radio 2 after 30 odd years, when they dispensed with Ken and Steve.
R.I.P. Steve Wright

Yes, very sad and very unexpected.
