Sad news, folks. Dave Myers, the half of the dynamic cooking duo known as the Hairy Bikers, has passed away at the age of 66 after bravely battling cancer.
The heartbreaking news was shared by his co-star and close friend Si King on the Hairy Bikers' website. Si said, “Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home."
Si expressed his deep emotions, saying, “Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.”
The Hairy Bikers, known for their motorcycle adventures and love for good food, started gracing our screens back in January 2006 with 'The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook'. They've taken us on a culinary journey, from crossing the Namibian desert to exploring the Isle of Man.
Their latest escapade, 'The Hairy Bikers’ Go West', aired on BBC2 just the day before Dave's passing. Alongside the delicious dishes, the duo showcased their passion for riding motorcycles worldwide, from cruising through deserts to navigating roads on various bikes, including the recent episode with BSA Gold Stars.
Dave Myers leaves behind a legacy cherished by his thousands of fans. Our thoughts go out to his family during this difficult time. Ride on, Dave. You'll be missed.
