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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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'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.

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

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

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.

My favourite Radio 2 D J, what a shock.
