Dave Myers, best known as one half of the Hairy Bikers , has died at the age of 66, according to a statement from his co-star Si King on social media . The TV chef had announced he was receiving treatment for an unspecified form of cancer in May.
When Hairy Biker Dave Myers passed away from cancer last month, it was his best friend Si King who led the tributes.
They met on the set of a TV drama in 1995, before King sold Myers what he called the 'worst motorbike you have ever seen.' David 'Dave' Myers became beloved as one half of the motorcycle-riding cooking duo, The Hairy Bikers , with fellow chef Simon 'Si' King Their combination of riding their motorcycles to locations across the world and cooking up a storm as they went earned them a loyal following.After their first show, the bearded duo went on to film many other series and specials for the BBC, seeking out new dishes in countries such as India, Vietnam, Argentina and Mexico.Across their career they published more than 30 cookbooks together.
King said last month he 'will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime'. 'Especially to continue to do it while he was having treatment took remarkable courage and energy - and adds to why Dave and I will not forget it.'
