5 live listener Steve Evans was diagnosed with stomach cancer in September 2011. Over the last eight months Richard Bacon's programme has regularly spoken to Steve - his interviews have had a huge impact on many listeners.

Steve, who was from Wolverhampton, died in the early hours of Thursday 16th January, at the age of 52.

He recorded his final interview with Richard Bacon from his hospital bed, two days before he died. He was very weak but determined to finish off what he'd started, which was to inspire other people suffering from cancer.

In May 2013 Richard Bacon broadcast from Steve Evans' home in Wolverhampton. Steve talked about the irrational guilt he felt as a cancer patient and his worries about causing pain to those around him - especially family and friends. He leaves a wife and two grown-up children. He was originally told by doctors he had a year to live and defied their expectations.

In September 2013, Richard Bacon visited Steve at Wolverhampton New Cross hospital. At the end of November 2013 Steve and his wife visited 5 live's studios where he talked about his decision to stop invasive treatment. He also implored those going through the same with their loved ones to tell each other how they feel.
