Blimey!

Mister Angry and all that stuff.

As a 67 year old too many celebrities dying relatively early recently for comfort.

Listening to his Radio 1 shows was a big part of my growing up. RIP.

Bloody awful news, loved his shows.
Another gem gone.
RIP Steve.

Quite a shock this is, I think Steve is only 1 wk older than me.
Really hits home how fragile our time on this earth is.
RIP Steve

More bloody tragic news.
Loved his afternoon show back in the day. Always made me smile.
RIP Wrighty. Will be sadly missed.

Seen it on BBC Online, hell of a shock, remember him being on when I was an apprentice and working on building sites, great presenter.

RIP Steve Wright, BBC Radio has lost a Legend!

I hardly saw the light of day yesterday so only now catching up on news (also missed all footy, thankfully).

The Steve Wright afternoon show is one of those things which takes me right back to my teens. It was very often the first noise I heard when stepping through the front door after school. It also reminds me of the dentist as they always had it on in the background.

Feeling a bit glum at hearing this news.

One after another recently.
Mr Mad was my favorite. You're raving mad pal...
The outro when his show ended, from "Wichita Lineman", is etched into my memory. RIP

RIP Steve, again big part of my growing up early 80's, bad week so far with some awful losses

 

[PSumbler]

Like many others was a big part of my time growing up in the 80s

RIP Steve
