Dave Myers, known for his role as one half of the Hairy Bikers alongside Si King, passed away from cancer at the age of 66 on Wednesday. His death has prompted tributes from friends, former neighbours, and fans who celebrated his natural comic talent and his ability to put Cumbria on the map. Myers met his artist friend Graham Twyford at Barrow Grammar School in 1973, who remembered him fondly. Following his death, it was revealed that Myers left behind a huge seven-figure fortune. The BBC plans to air a 'magical series' of the Hairy Bikers on BBC Two following his passing. Si King, his long-time friend and co-star, expressed how odd and heartbroken it feels without Myers and has issued a plea to viewers as he returns to the limelight, leaving fans in tears. Myers' wife, Lili, shared a heartfelt tribute to her 'exceptional husband', expressing how it 'amazes me' and stating she is 'grieving with the nation'. This massive wave of love and support has been a source of comfort during this difficult time.
