Steve Wright's friend Nick Campbell has said that the BBC star would not have liked all the nice things people are saying about him after he died.
Steve Wright was a famous DJ on BBC Radio 2 but sadly passed away at his house on February 12 when he was 69 years old. Nick, who described his late friend as a 'great and really likeable person', has now spoken out to say that the late radio legend would hate all the media attention he's received since passing.
He said: "What kind of irks me, and I've got this from other people I've known who I felt were fantastic people and who have died, and all of a sudden everyone in a sense dehumanises them and says, 'Oh, they were perfect in every way, they floated across the water', and all that stuff.' Speaking to Gabby Logan on The Mid.Point podcast, Nick added: "It dehumanises them.
I feel like saying, 'No. Steve was complex. He could be brittle and anxious'," as reported by the Mirror. Steve was on BBC Radio 2 from 1999 to 2022 until Scott Mills took over as several of Steve's fellow radio DJ's including Greg James, Nick Grimshaw, Roman Kemp, and Zoe Ball all rushed to share sweet memories of the legendary DJ in their tributes.
