Addressing speculations that Steve may have died of a “broken heart” after being removed from his BBC Radio 2 show in 2022, Laurence has now broken his silence.

He attributes Steve’s demise to a combination of a poor diet, his inclination to dine out frequently, and a reluctance to address health issues openly.

Laurence, a director in the health industry, emphasized Steve’s awareness of the need for better self-care, stating, “It’s like anyone who doesn’t look after themselves over an extended period.”

Describing his late brother as a stoic individual who kept family members uninformed about his health struggles, Laurence mentioned Steve’s reticence regarding topics such as diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress.

Despite acknowledging that Steve could have taken better care of himself, Laurence dispelled the notion that his death was linked to a broken heart, asserting that, if anything, Steve welcomed the respite after parting ways with his BBC Radio 2 afternoon slot.
