Steve Wright was one of the most familiar voices on the airwaves in the UK, as he hosted his show on BBC Radio 2 for more than 20 years, before his death in February

The death of Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright will not be subject to an inquest, according to a statement from Westminster Coroner's Court.

Westminster Coroner's Court said in a statement: "An inquest will not be required for Mr Wright. The coroner has now discontinued this case." The Metropolitan Police previously stated that Wright's death at a flat in the Marylebone area of central London "was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious". Wright first joined BBC Radio 1 in 1980 to host a Saturday evening show and held various positions including an afternoon show and a breakfast show at the station.

Wright stepped down in September 2022, replaced by Scott Mills in a schedule shake-up, but continued to present Sunday Love Songs on BBC Radio 2. Michael Ball has been unveiled as the host of a Sunday love songs programme, now rebranded as Love Songs With Michael Ball.
