Steve Harley passed away following a short battle with cancer. In December 2023, Harley announced on his website that he had cancer.
On 17 March 2024, it was announced that he had died that morning. His daughter Greta said he had “passed away peacefully at home” in Suffolk.
In a statement, his family said: “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. His home has been filled with the sounds and laughter of his four grandchildren. Whoever you know him as, his heart exuded only core elements. Passion, kindness, generosity. And much more, in abundance.”
Harley’s family said they knew the singer would be “desperately missed by people all over the world”.
Who was Steve Harley?
Harley was born Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice in south-east London in 1951 and spent almost four years in hospital as a child after contracting polio.
At the age of 17, he joined the Daily Express as a trainee accountant before working as a journalist for several regional newspapers including the East London Advertiser.
Cockney Rebel rose to prominence in the early 1970s with their glam rock music. The original band was made up of Harley, Jean-Paul Crocker, drummer Stuart Elliott, bassist Paul Jeffreys and guitarist Nick Jones.
Their debut studio album, The Human Menagerie, was released in 1973. The group’s other hits included a cover of Here Comes the Sun, which was released in 1976.
Harley branched out as a solo artist before the band regrouped in 1990 on the back of the success of Harley’s 1989 tour.
The band’s biggest hit, Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), has sold about 1.5m copies and has been covered more than 120 times, including by Robbie Williams and Duran Duran.
Harley also presented the BBC Radio 2 show Sounds of the 70s from 1999 to 2008. The show is now hosted by Johnnie Walker.
Harley is survived by his wife Dorothy, children Kerr and Greta and four grandchildren.
