‘I hope you’re at peace’ – Si King’s tribute to Dave Myers a year on from death
The TV chef said it felt ‘very odd’ to be in rehearsals for an event without his best friend.
TV chef Si King has said he hopes his fellow Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers is “at peace” on the one year anniversary of his death.
King shared a tribute on social media a year after Myers died aged 66 in February 2024 following a cancer diagnosis, explaining he was missing his best friend while rehearsing for an event.
In an Instagram post, the 58-year-old said: “Hello everybody, I’m just in the middle of rehearsing for An Evening With Si King.
“I miss you every day brother, and I hope you’re at peace.”
In a separate post, King shared a picture of himself with Myers hugging and laughing.
He said: “One year ago we lost my incredible friend.
“He’ll never be far from our thoughts and I’m so proud that the legacy of the Hairy Bikers lives on through all the amazing projects and programmes we have been lucky to be involved in.”
It comes after the final programme produced by the pair, the BBC’s Hairy Bikers Go West, won the best food show prize at the TV Choice Awards earlier this month.
King has paid tribute to Myers on a number of occasions following his death, including with Dave Day, a 30-mile motorcycle ride to celebrate his life. It was recorded for the documentary The Hairy Bikers: You’ll Never Ride Alone, which aired on BBC Two during the festive period last year.
A final Hairy Bikers cookbook is also being developed by King which will bring together the pair’s “most loved” recipes, and it is due for release in March.
