Yes, long time R1 and R2 DJ, 'funny' voice merchant and Beany's fashion icon Steve Wright has died. Only 69.

Remember him this way, exiting his car and garage:

Damn, that's a shocker. I wouldn't say I was his biggest 'love the show' / 'no G' fan, but enjoyed listening to him as I typically have Radio 2 in the car (unless the kids demand I switch it to something else, currently they favour Capital). RIP.

He's looked terrible for years. I wasn't a fan of his but I do recall seeing him at a Radio 1 Roadshow a million years ago and quite enjoying that.

I'd take the piss, but with my long dancers legs (and comfortably accommodating gut) me getting out of the 1-series looks not dissimilar

I didn't realise he was that 'old' - sort of assumed mid-50s.

R.i.p., I hope it was a peaceful passing.

Weirdly, the one thing I remember him for is this:

I'm quite gutted about this, listened to him from the Radio 1 days up until him leaving the Radio 2 afternoon show
