BBC Radio 2's Liza Tarbuck Emotional Tribute to DJ Steve Wright On His Last Ever Sunday Love Songs

- Liza Tarbuck tearfully paid tribute to Steve Wright on the last ever episode of his Sunday Love Songs show as she asked listeners to 'light a candle' for the DJ following his 'sudden' death.
The legendary BBC Radio 2 DJ died aged 69 on Monday - four years after his ex-wife passed away during Covid which made him 'completely shut down'.
Presenting a special episode of Wright's Sunday Love Songs show this morning, Tarbuck said the show was going on but 'without the chief'. She also read out heartfelt tributes from listeners to the much-loved DJ.
Tarbuck, 59, opened the 'Remembering Steve Wright' episode by saying: 'This is Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs but without the chief, without our genius friend.'
Her voice shaking, she added: 'So while you're getting a tissue, I think it would be lovely if you lit him a candle. I make no apologies if I get upset over the next two hours and I don't think you should either.'
Wright's final show was last Sunday, when he hosted a pre-recorded edition of his programme for Valentine's Day. Wright told listeners in his final sign-off: 'I'll be back for more love songs next Sunday, ta-da then.'

She did incredibly well to hold it together….. she was absolutely brilliant ….. maybe even offer her the spot ….. she just had a real warmth and sincerity reading the messages….. very well done Liza
Then when she shared her memory with Steve and then break when in the moment where she said that it was their last dance together and that broke me.
One of the country's finest presenter. I wish she was on every day.
She's great
I think Liza did a absolutely brilliant job. Thanks Liza 😢
🕊🙏🙏
Radio is not going to be the same again, listened to Steve all my live
It was indeed a beautiful tribute. Liza did him proud
Yess
Such a warm and lovely man.
It was a beautiful tribute brilliantly presented by Liza yesterday ❤ Going to miss his voice on the radio ..one of a kind.
Welldone liza you did so well . True professional
💔💔💔🥹simply the best for laughter and the tears, my Dad has passed so Steve unknowingly played Albatross on occasions, this was my dad’s favourite..plus many other, Steve was our friend and me and my Dad loved his shows..
Since Steve wright was made to give up his afternoon show i now listen to Greatest hits Radio in the afternoon, that’s my protest to what the bosses did to him . I hope one day soon the same will happen to you , I will never ever forgive you lot ,now it’s to late he has for ever .R.I.P Steve.
Made sure i didn't oversleep for this one. Liza and the team deserves an award for presenting this" lovesongs" special, the nod to the "chief" and kicking in with listeners memories was simply beautiful, one listener saying she wrote to Steve to get a mention on her daughters wedding day, a sad Sunday but the listeners made it beautiful.
It was so emotional 😢 I found it difficult to hold myself together wonderful tribute Lisa xx
Bless Liza Steve would have been so proud and I am so sure he had a hand in the choice of DJ.
She is a lovely lady and she did an excellent job with the show...very emotional and heart warming..David Gilmour
An outstanding tribute to Steve by Liza. Full of class, professionalism and respect. I don't know how she did it. Thank you Liza.
If the fools at the BBC don't give you the slot after that performance....
So so sad simple as that,speaks volumes about how much he was loved by us all,devastated doesn’t come close,made you smile when you felt like crap!through the tears you think of him and start to smile and laugh, not many can do that,😢
Liza what a brilliant thoughtful tribute to Steve Wright, I was in tears through out the show. Steve you will be so sadly missed xxx
I love a weekend lie in but would always get up at 9am to listen to Sunday Love Songs, even when we go away in our caravan I’d always spend those 2 lovely hours listening to Steve. I was gutted when his afternoon show ended but happy I would still be able to hear him on a Sunday but alas all good things come to an end. I will forever miss Steve’s shows as I do dear Terry Wogan’s. Those two were always there in the background of my life and it will never be the same. Liza’s tribute to him was lovely but so very sad. RIP Steve, you were a great DJ to grow up with.
Steve Wright.
The Guv'nor.
He made our afternoons.
He cheered us up no end.

🌷R I P, bud🌻
Liza you were such a brave girl
Wonderful darling
Cried ,and really that carried on
He touched us all
Bless him, bless you my lov e
Steve was simply brilliant 1 off a kind a man who lit up people's lives unlike Helen Thomas who ruins them
No need for that nasty comment at the end. Inappropriate at a time like this. God bless you Steve, you will be sorely missed ❤
I think it is perfectly normal for people when they are sad to try to find blame and Helen Thomas has denied us all some more precious Steve Wright moments and that makes us angry. Not the time to chastise grief, is hard. @@KryptonitetoallBS
@@Clare1981 So you think it's perfectly okay to try and find blame for someone's death when Steve's brother has spoken publicly to explain what led to his death? Whether you agree or disagree with a particular decision taken by an employee of the BBC, it's staggering that you would choose a time like this to bring it up. I have had experience with grief and it is hard to deal with but it's no excuse for lashing out and bad mouthing others!! Steve Wright would be appalled if he thought his death had led to the scathing attacks we've seen on Helen Thomas!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS Whether it is personal opinion or hearsay, the FACTS are that Helen Thomas basically cast Steve aside by tellling him his show was outdated and she wanted a 'fresh' approach (not my words, this is what Steve Wright himself said). The man had been doing this for over two decades, it was his 'life' and reason for getting out of bed every day - Thomas took that from him! Of course Steve isn't going to say that publicly and throw her under the bus.....you could tell the man didn't have in him to do that.......the polar opposite of her it appears! She has 'some' blood on her hands, the quantity is irrelevant.
Love his sign off on his last show last Sunday.terra then.❤
Well done Liza, excellent job, Steve would of loved this, RIP Steve you are very much loved and missed 💔😢
So hard to hear. Liza did an amazing job with a hard act to follow. Not been a fan of hers previously, but I was so proud of her what she did. She did our Steve proud and will always be grateful and humbled for that 💔
She did amazing
Sad times
Rip Wrighty. What a loss to our lives. You were loved and you brought us such great joy. X
Love Liza. She’s naturally warm and funny. I wish she was on the radio much more
Great job done. Be proud of yourself, as Steve would of been.
Lisa show is brilliant as well and she such a fun loving character ❤
Steve was second to none according to Helen Thomas,
in her tribute to steve, the one who axed his show.
I rather suspect that many of us are genuinely furious at the way in the BBC so flippantly ditched such wonderfully loved presenters over the past few years, but do you know what has truly surprised me? This terribly sad time we have all had to come to terms with has revealed what a beautiful, close-knit family of genuine friends the 'old team' of the BBC were. No amount of genuinely cruel, 'positive discrimination' could ever give rise to such a sincerely warm family of independently brilliant talent the Beeb of yesteryear once boasted. I really do believe the BBC should hang their heads in shame over this - genuinely I do. Thank you Liza for such a touching tribute: you are a gem in the midst of a darkening world yourself my lovely and we love you. God bless.
Hi Lisa I listened to your show on Sunday you did incredibly well I also lit a candle for Steve I listened to him for years it was truly a beautiful show xx
Wonderful!

Show was a tad silly but definitely made the working afternoon pass quicker !!
My 1st job after training for 18 months as a Radar engineer in the RAF , was at RAF Locking in 1981.
In 1T hangar where Radio 1 would be playing, Steve Wright came on who I'd not heard before. I was instantly hooked.
He would go right up close to the microphone and say
"C'mon touch your radio and feel the warmth of my sincerity " 😎
I could not believe it when BBC bosses axed his show in 2022
I cannot listen to Steve's replacement Scott Mills instead I listen to my own music collection instead.
Too young to go Steve RIP 💜
Strange this tragedy has happened in the same week BBC are dismantling Wogan house.
Nobody has mentioned this butmy belief is Steve couldn't face seeing his studio dismantled and basically destroyed.Dacades of memorabilia GONE.Did Steve died of a broken 💔?RIP Steve.
You have been my afternoons since 1981 x
Well done Lisa.... she would fit the SLS slot perfectly. She a very underrated broadcaster.
She's talented
Steve wright in the afternoon could of and should have gone on for many years yet. Shame on the BBC
You know
oNLY HERE BECAUSE OF HER DAD,TALK ABOUT KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY BBC.......PRATS...🤫
Really? How ridiculous you are.
