He was 66 years old. His co-star Si King confirmed yesterday that Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers had died.

The star, who was best known for being in the band Hairy Bikers, had been sick for a long time before he died.

Si King wrote this in honor of his longtime friend: “Hi everyone, I’m afraid I have some sad news.” Dave has been fighting cancer for a few years now, as most of you know.

“Dave died peacefully at home last night, February 28, 2024. His wife Lili, his family, his close friend David, and I were with him.”

“Everyone who knew Dave is heartbroken over his death.” Both his wife and her children, Iza and Sergiu, made him very happy. Dave loved them like his own children. To be honest, I’m not sure I can put into words how I feel right now.

“Right now I can’t follow my best friend on her journey.” I will always miss him and the link and friendship we had for fifty years. God speed, brother. You are and always will be a light in this world. We’ll see you next time. “Love you.”

Why Dave Myers didn’t say what kind of cancer he had
Dave Myers, who played Hairy Bikers, never told anyone what kind of cancer he had.

He said: “A huge inconvenience is the best way to describe it.”
