- LBC Radio presenter James O'Brien was close to tears on BBC Radio 2 today following the announcement that Steve Wright has died aged 69. The beloved DJ presented programmes for BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 for more than four decades.
Steve's family confirmed his death "with deep sorrow and profound regret" in a statement today. The sad news was included in the 5pm bulletin on BBC Radio 2 today, with presenter Sara sounding emotional as she responded.
She said: "It's really hard to know what to say about the news of Steve Wright's passing, except that we are all absolutely devastated and shocked and blind-sided by this news. Steve was an extraordinary broadcaster and a really, really kind person.

Wonderful words James - Steve Wright was a wonderful contributor to British life
Yes definitely
Steve kept me company for many, many afternoons whilst I drove 55k miles a year. Rest in peace😢
🙏😥😥🙏
I shed tears when I heard Steve Wright had died, there will never be another like him.
Me too. I now live in CA and listened to Steve as my breakfast show.
Hearing his shows sound so chaotic but being told they were scripted to perfection is an eye opener. No show has ever made me laugh so much before or since. I’ve been listening to his shows on here the last couple of days and they’re still brilliant today!
He was a master
What a wonderful eulogy to an incredible broadcaster.
Indeed 🙏😥
His death has really upset the nation. Its like when the Queen died.
He was a huge part of everyones life and always there.
RIP steve and thank you.
Hardly, Steve was more popular
Going abit far he was OK but not brilliant
I was a listener from America but I had always listen to him on Sundays on Radio 2
Wow - that's such a beautiful, brilliant tribute, thank you James.
Steve Wright was the best thing on radio. ever.
He was positivity and the world is not right at the moment we need more people around to be positive like Steve Wright
There’s no job I ever held where I didn’t listen to Steve ,RIP x
Still can't quite to believe it. A lot of us of a certain age grew up to listening to the legendary Steve Wright, a sad loss and will be missed by many,God bless Steve, going to miss you❤❤❤❤
his voice was iconic
I never met Steve but he felt like a good mate, always there when you needed cheering up especially in these times of uncertainty in our lives. Rest in peace my friend, serious friending xx
No g ❤️we have lost a giant of his art!
The BBC bosses who took away he's afternoon show should be ashamed of themselves..
Could not agree more. And here they are saying what a genius he was and how popular he was. Why remove him then begs the question?? 😡😡😡
No one should listen to radio 2 now
@@philliplewis4212 Iv stopped. G h r for me now. Just a pity the reception can be iffy when your on the road.
They don't give a flying one
Radios 1+2...are dead on their arses now..awful...😮wrighty was just brilliant 👏...those characters 😂...great voice and intro/exit music was joyous rip mate...gazz
There was only one Steve Wright on the radio. He set new standards in the world of broadcasting. The characters, competitions, and many other features made his show unique. Interviews with celebrities and other people made his show special. Factoids were usually interesting and amusing. There will never be another Steve Wright on the radio.
I used to tune in almost every day when I was driving tractors on the farm. I met and spoke to Steve and Simon Bates many years ago in Inverness when they visited Scotland with the Radio 1 Road show way back in the eighties.
He was just the same character in person as he was on air. RIP Steve you'll be sadly missed by many.
He was definitely special
Ahh what a lovely tribute, i listened to steve over the past 40 years, he was with me throughout childhood, teenager, young adult right up to now. I adored him, so very very sad and deepest condolences to his children, family and friends. Heartbreaking 💔
Yes me too. Steve wright in the afternoooon
Steve Wright was an absolute legend!
He got me through my apprenticeship many years ago when I was young, thanks to his amazing afternoon show.
The disgusting sycophantic bosses at the BBC who aren’t fit to lick his boots, are just paying lip service following his death….but the bastards didn’t care when they ditched him from his prime time afternoon show!!
There will never be another DJ like Steve, he was one in a million and will be sadly missed by all his fans.
Rest in peace Steve, godbless you!
Sid the manager here, thanks for the laughs Steve, yes yes yes hello!
spot on James,im 53 he was my teenage years and since RIP Steve xx shame on the vile bbc
Part of our lives Thanks Steve for the music and the laughter god bless you.
What a lovely tribute
Indeed
Another legend who I’ve known since my childhood whose sadly passed away …… R.I.P. Steve !
Will miss this guy so much. Rest in peace Steve so bloody funny Ask what Elvis thinks of radio two Steve
🕊🙏agree
RIP Steve there will never be another like you, you will be very much missed 💔x
I made a tribute on my channel too. Resolution Radio 2020. I had a very boring job in the 1980s and listened to him in the afternoons. His show got me through some tough times. Just because of it's positivity. He was very good indeed.
Can always remember Steve playing in my dad's old tarmac lorry as a young boy he made us laugh God bless Steve ❤
A legend
💔😭he was a true genius at his work but it was so natural, he could talk and you were captivated by this happy charming voice. I loved him so much, what’s more he was a Virgo ♍️ ❤❤❤
Lovely tribute ❤
Fantastic Tribute 🎧🎤🎧🎤
🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful words and a Fitting Tribute . Steve Wright was a Genius ❤😢…
Steve Wright in the afternoon Radio 1 was a big part of my teenage years and early 20’s . Got listening to his Radio 2 Steve Wright in the afternoon a few years ago . He and Ken Bruce were probably the Most Popular Shows/ Slots on radio 2 these past years very sad to see them both pushed out . ❤❤❤❤
2 of my favourite childhood people Steve Wright & Carl weathers
shocking news on both RIP Steve
Steven wright what a lovely tribute to Steve wright he is a legend so sadly and sorely missed forever so sad 😭 I’m shocked
I loved his 2pm show grew up mucking out stables listening to him he made me laugh even though I was ankle deep in shit!! RIP his like won't be heard again 😢
thanks for all the fun steve ,sleep well.
🙏🕊
This has upset me so much…..he was there through my youth playing love songs…Simply heartbreaking. 😢
I need to suspect that his passing was a big FU to the psychopaths in charge at BBC. THEY trashed his career that the loved.
Steve wright in the afterlife, heaven's got a new DJ
First time I have agreed with him.
Eloquently spoken words, I concur
It’s very sad about Steve Wright and it is even sadder if he is just another” sudden death”
Well done fella I don't like all you do surprise surprise but for once we are at one so well done and thanks for taking the time to show our wonderful B.B.C. what pricks they really are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenny Everett and Clive bull tony Blackburn are all on another level very sad news 😢
Unlike James Steve didn’t treat the general public with contempt.I doubt people will remember James in the same way.
In your car.Put the radio on.See what's on.Oh it's Steve Wright.No point changing channels.Whether you were a regular listener of Steve or not he had a connection with the people.His show was fun and informative,people felt part of it all.He was a one off,and will be missed on the radio.People loved his show,young or old.RIP
This is so Rich the WORSE presenter on radio gives a tribute to the Best 🤣
any good radio to listen to? please reply .
A feel good show on radio from steve wright. always looked followed too it ,never listned after he moved to sundays love songs only.shame bril dj.
When you listened to Steve's shows you turned the volume UP when the record ended...
Unlike coming across JOB - then you change channels.
Nice One James.
🙏🙏🕊🕊
Goodnight mr wright 😢
A lot is being made of the effect of losing his show but I think if he had found another Mrs Wright things would have worked out so differently. RiP Steve ❤
Fascinating how much Steve Wright's voice changed as he got older.
I don't think it changed much at all. In fact when I saw a recent picture I wax shocked at how much weight he had piled on. His voice on the other hand belied the change. Same with Victor maguire. John Cleese on the other hand started to sound his age some Time ago
Steve wright in the afternoooon
And sadly now Steve wright in the afterlife
@@csairbrushartworkthe more people I know that go there the more I think it must be a great place to be
Good luck on your next journey Steve keep on jocking❤❤
🙏🙏🕯🕊
no g, remember!
No G in jockin!!
The best drive time dj EVER. End of discussion.
As the saying goes he’s a rockstar….. gutted 😢
I didn't mind him as a disc jockey it was pretty easy in the 80's as their was so many good records you could have a laugh with the audience
You know
James O'Brien: whilst I consider you a 'left wing jerk' your words on Steve Wright were spot on. Steve was a Master of the Air Waves.
Definitely he was
Claims to be Liberal. Maybe you have drifted further right than you realise? Nice that you squeezed a little bitterness into your tribute though.
Yeah James O'Brien the left winger who was one of the most critical of Corbyn even more so than some Conservatives. What a pathetic comment to make on such a poignant tribute.
Imagine James, a DJ entertaining people, playing records, talking to guests and letting them be the important one. Loving everyone and not pushing their own political agenda down peoples throat.
If you can, you may one day be on popular radio.
The difference between you and Steve is that he was full of love and you are full of hate.
Do yourself a favour and have a day off from yourself
I don't know what to say Smashie, neither do I Nicey..............RIP
Amen
What annoyed me is the way steve was treated by Helen thomas the day he made a statement about leaving you could tell he was reading and it was made for him to read by Helen Thomas she is a total hypocrite he was the afternoon afternoon for million if you had a stinker of a day at work as soon as his afternoon show began your day got 💯 better Helen Thomas is trying to get a younger audience radio 2 has always been for rhe older audience radio 1 radio 1 extra are already there for the young ones i loved this man since the 80s a master of his craft how Jeremy vines show survived ive really no idea ken Bruce went at the right time Friday nights were tony blackburn golden hour sounds of the 80s sounds of the 90s what did Helen Thomas do take all 3 off and replaced them programs with rubbish
People always have misunderstandings
It's all about you Jimmy o brien
Sad what a man
Helen Thomas should have a serious look in the mirror. What she done to the big show is unforgiveable please step down and go back to Hull 😢
What ever is said fuck those that say time moves on because Steve moved with the times and his re placed article is not even near it so why the F...K did Steve get side stepped Time for some answers please and lets cut to the chase not the bullshit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree
Steve Wright was part of a generation all too soon gone in the name of progress. That era of radio will never be surpassed. It's all become a brainwashing platform for bland, mindless "music" with bland, mindless "presenters," especially at Radio 1 and others like Capital and Kiss. Steve Wright was innovative and entertaining when Radio 1 was a real radio station. A class act gone too soon.
I believe he had some kind of spat with James Whale, and there was bad blood between them for a while, but I heard them make up on the radio. I may be wrong, but as I recall, Steve had reached out to James after James' cancer diagnosis.
I hadn't heard this. If so I'm glad things were sorted out before it was too late, like with David Crosby and Stills, Nash and Young. I don't think things between them were resolved, which is sad.
Dem wham boys , at my door...shall I let them in ? Rip SW ..legend 🏴👌👍
The characters were really funny and a part of the show we all shut up to listen to. Sid the manager, Mr Angry, Rambo, Arnie and Elvis to name a few plus scores of A list celebrity guests with whom he got the very best out of. Serious Jokin no G on a Friday afternoon used to set us up for the weekend. He will be missed especially with todays dross.
Didn’t Steve Wright create Mr Angry? The 80s version of the faux outrage /keyboard warrior ‘twitterati’ ie the ‘average person’ who is angry at everything but not sure why. RIP Steve
The day they took Steve off his afternoon show, that’s the day I stopped listening to Radio 2, apart from Elaine Paige, Bob Harris, and Johnnie Walker!
Agree
O'Brainless making it all about him.........
Skiving rugby? after all your stuff you're a public schoolboy?
Get the geese off
Anyone awake as to why more people are dying so young these days?
My guess is sugar filled pesticide ridden food. The war generation I think lived longer because they had a long spell of rationing and bought less synthetic processed food. Food was cooked from scratch but there again they also had the time to cook properly
Stev wright in the after 6:21 noon I used listen to I would have it on all the time a grate radieo presenter.
From my teenage years to middle age so sad to have lost a class act in Steve wright ….BBC bosses need to take a long look in the mirror
The only decent thing Obrien has ever said!!!
