The "which famous person died today" thread

Sadly, Dave Myers, one half of the excellent Hairy Bikers has passed away at just 66.

I thought he was recovering from his cancer but don’t know at this point whether that was the cause of his death.

I have a large selection of their cookbooks and always enjoyed watching the camaraderie between the two of them on their various shows.

For me, best of all, was the fact that they always looked like they were thoroughly enjoying everything they did together and their recipes were never overly pretentious.

Apparently his best mate, and fellow Hairy Biker - Si King, was at his bedside when he passed away … very sad.

RIP Dave

FFS NOOOOOOOO !! The Hairy Bikers were two halves of a whole - RIP Dave Myers - what a lovely man who didn't seem to have a bad bone in his body - will miss you

I never watch cookery programmes but from the clips I saw the Hairy Bikers just come across as nice, ordinary guys. A nice relief from the world of “celebrities”.

Despite not really knowing them, the words of Si King are really moving.

“My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can't follow.”

RIP Dave Myers

Friends for life those two. Probably what made their on screen personas so good together on Curb.

Jeez, today’s a bit shit.

I was googling him the other day as I thought he’d already passed away so was surprised to see him turn up again in Curb Your Enthusiasm. I remembered then it was just news last year he had a terrible illness, Parkinson’s.

Lived a full life.

RIP Richard Lewis.

RIP Dave Myers. Came over as one of life's good guys. Have been following their latest series and his recovery that enabled him to get back on his bike. Its lovely that he was able to experience what he loved most one final time. Very sad news. Condolences to his wife and family and his 'other half'.

I loved the episode where they went to Bury Market and sampled the world famous Bury Black Pudding.
R.I.P Dave.
You will be sadly missed.

The scenes with those two - they can barley keep a straight face - fed off each other telepathically. RIP!
