Sad news. A real time-served "radio man" who came up through local radio and Radio Luxembourg before joining the BBC, unlike the straight to air from reality TV lot we get these days. Very professional and gracious when he was effectively pushed to a weekend slot despite being an audience winner. RIP.

Really very sad news. I recall listening to Steve Wright every afternoon while I was out working on sites during the 90s. His shows were a cut above the other Radio One presenters at the time and his 'posse' added to the humour. R.I.P. Steve

Really sad to hear he has died. He was a radio legend, an innovator and all round funny guy
I remember him on Radio Luxembourg and one of his many characters was Dr Bunion. He asked listeners to fax in a photocopy of their foot and he would then tell you your future in the same way a palmist could by reading your palm… but Dr Bunion assured us his methods were more accurate.
RIP

Very sad to hear about this. The comedy element of his shows was excellent, a great broadcaster, have been enjoying listening to is Pick of Pops that he had only recently taken over.
RIP Steve, you will be missed.

Sad news indeed, RIP Steve Wright, no age either to go. He knew his music well and I too remember his Steve Wright in the afternoon show which I kept on the radio in the background when I was around at home. He could have gone on for years more. One of the originals.

Really sad to hear this earlier. Grew up with him on the radio and listened to him most of my working life, a true legend of radio. Rip Wrighty.

Sad news indeed. I liked Wrighty and feel he was wrongly moved on from his R2 Big Show a short while back. It still had a big audience. RIP Wrighty and thanks for the many great afternoons of entertainment
