Only 69.

Hell! That was a shock! I was listening to Sara Cox on Radio 2. They're all in tears!

Unbelievable and shocking, such sad news, he was such a big part of my life growing up

[Neil CR]

Yeah big shock that
Missed him on in the afternoon since he left R2 and dropped into his love songs on the odd Sunday
He was definitely 1 of the greats

[Pondrew]

Utterly shocked TBH.
I listened to Wrighty on Radio 1, then Radio 2 for 40 years. And of course he presented TOTP many times.
I actually nearly ran him over once....about 30 years ago on Whitehall. He walked across the road right in front of me. Of course I was doing walking speed on Whitehall on a weekday afternoon. He put his hand on the bonnet of my van as he crossed. We exchanged a few brief pleasantries. Seemed a decent bloke!
RIP.

I remember listening to him back in the mid 80s when my art teacher had the radio on in class. Mr Angry and Sid....and some character who kept farting and saying "excuse me".

Not that old either. Sad news.
