We would like to thank you all deeply for your touching tributes and messages of condolence in the days since Steve’s death - our beautiful Husband and Dad.

Steve would have been honoured, beyond words.

We understand there has been interest among you about a way to channel your love for Steve, by way of a celebration of sorts. For now, please know that we’re aware of this, and will share our thoughts in due course… doing right by Steve and his wishes.

Bless you for caring.

The singer’s daughter Greta said today (SUN):”We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and father has passed away peacefully at home, with his family by his side.
 
“The birdsong from his woodland that he loved so much was singing for him, and his home has been filled with the sounds and laughter of his four grandchildren.
 
“Stephen, Steve, Dad, Grandar, Steve Harley  - whoever you know him as, his heart exuded only core elements. Passion, kindness, generosity, and much more, in abundance.

"Steve took enormous comfort from all of his fans’ well wishes during his battle, and would want to thank you all deeply for your love and support throughout his career."

"We know he will be desperately missed by people all over the world, and we ask that you respectfully allow us privacy to grieve.”

“The news of Steve Wright’s death has shattered me. We knew each other since the early sixties. Little Steve’s mum, Joan, was my mum Joyce’s good friend in New Cross Gate, London, SE14, in the fifties and sixties. Steve was in my brother Nigel’s class at Edmund Waller Primary School. Joan had a job, and so Steve would walk home after school with Nigel and Joyce and have tea at our flat in Fairlawn Mansions. Many of you have heard about this; it came up several times during chats he and I had on BBC Radio 2.

Steve Wright was the consummate broadcast professional. There wasn’t a star on this earth who refused the chance to share an interview with him on his In The Afternoon show.

Steve managed to be both the guy down-the-street, and a pro working on a higher plane at one and the same time.

He made it all seem so easy.

My loving best wishes and deepest sympathy go to his family.”

Due to on-going treatment for cancer, Steve cannot commit to any concerts in 2024. Steve is hoping next year will be altogether different. He appreciates all your kind words and good wishes .

Team SH

Greetings friends and fans around the world.

I send love and good thoughts to you all, and your families, and wish you a peaceful, wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

2023 has not exactly been an annus horibilis for me, as the first half was often magical, with some great nights on stage with Barry, Oli and David. And the full rock band in Holland and Belgium, and Denmark….out there, on the road, that’s where I come alive.

The second half, well…cancelling Live dates is heartbreaking. I’m aware of the stress and financial strain it can place On you.

But I’m fighting a nasty cancer. My oncologist is pleased with the treatment’s effects so far. It’s tiresome, and tiring. But the fight is on. And thankfully the cursed intruder is not affecting the voice. I sing and play most evenings.

Our house will be filled with the wonderful company of children and grandchildren over the holidays, and I hope yours will be too. How else will you pull a cracker?

Thank you for your support, and for all the touching messages in your cards. It means more than I can tell.

Steve

Steve Harley is disappointed to announce the cancellation, with immediate effect, of the Cockney Rebel shows that were scheduled to take place in Europe and the UK in November and December 2023. Harley is to undertake a medical procedure followed by a period of recuperation. Ticket holders should return to their original point of purchase to obtain a refund.

Steve Harley said, “It saddens me deeply to have to cancel shows, and I feel really sorry for all ticket-holders. But, let’s be clear, I aim to be back on-the-road, ready for the spotlight, for our January dates. That’s my goal.”

Acoustic Band: Festival Marquee, Custom House Square, Belfast

https://cqaf.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873645095

It’s with a heavy heart that I pass on the terrible news that Kuma Harada, our dear friend and musical buddy, has died. Kuma played bass to a level I can only describe as masterful. And he was one of the sweetest, most considerate and humorous guys you could ever wish to share a tour bus or a stage with.

A dad, a granddad and an all-round fine man has been taken from us. I’ll miss him deeply. All my band members will. He touched everyone he met with his gentle nature. SH

Please note that Steve and the Acoustic Band will be playing at St George's Hall in Blackburn on the 1st July 2023

From Chat Room Master Graham Edmondson: “We are so proud to say that after our Fan Chat on Sunday we have raised over £3600 for the RNLI so far, thanks to the amazing generosity of Steve Harley fans.

Not only did we enjoy a fantastic night with Steve, but we achieved so much for a hugely worthwhile cause.

We are really pleased to share that Steve has agreed to host another "Fan Chat" where he will talk about this year and look forward to next year. And most importantly, Steve will answer our questions and chat with us personally!

A lot has happened, so there's plenty to catch up on, but how many performers would be willing to do this I wonder?

Keep your eyes open for more details and details on how to ensure you are there, in person, Zooming with Steve on November 27th

I thought our Queen would live forever. Why is that? I mean, even non-Monarchists liked Elizabeth II. I haven’t quite grasped the reality yet – three days on from that terrible, sad moment. But a good man has been learning his trade and rehearsing for this time since he was a schoolboy. He knows the job well. And he is many-times more trustworthy than any self-serving Politician. He had a good teacher. The Monarchy is in safe hands with King Charles III.

Get Ready To Receive Steve’s 1977 Gibson MK-35 Acoustic Guitar, SARAH from Grantham

Many thanks to all who participated in the raffle.

The sum raised was £7,580, which will go towards the Red Cross Ukraine appeal.

Sarah will also receive two Guest tickets for one of Steve’s concerts, plus a meet n greet at the sound-check.

Sarah is more than excited, saying “I still can’t believe I won the raffle. I’ve been a huge fan since Judy Teen in 1974, when I was 14!”

Steve will sign the guitar to Sarah, as she has requested. Maybe they will be pictured together with the instrument when they meet at Sarah’s chosen venue.

After Sunday’s chat, Steve felt that there were so many questions on the list that we didn’t get to, and he wanted a chance to respond to those folks so he agreed that we should continue the connection with a follow-up chat next Monday (Nov 29thth). So here is a chance to hear Steve continue answering the many thoughtful questions that he didn’t get to last time!

If you were invited to the previous call, you should have seen an invite in your inbox for this follow up session. If you weren't able to attend the first one, but would like to attend this second event, please  send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the heading "NEW INVITE" to get on the list).

This is so unexpected, but so typical of Steve, so let’s show how much we appreciate him doing this!
