Reports have stated that Dave Myers, a TV chef known for being one of the Hairy Bikers, took the time to arrange his funeral plans before passing away. Furthermore, he had an important request for those attending his funeral.

Myers passed away at the age of 66, after disclosing his diagnosis with a type of sickness called cancer two years earlier.

On Thursday (29 February), the announcement was made by Si King, who is a close friend and co-star of his.

In 2014, he stated in an interview that he wished to make his final send-off an upbeat affair. He envisioned his casket being borne out to the tune of The Scorpions' The Best is Yet To Come, with the intention of lifting the spirits of those present.

Myers wished for the visitors to enjoy vodka martinis upon arrival "to make them more relaxed", followed by a recital of William Blake's Innocence and Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending "to evoke emotions and bring tears to their eyes".

In a Mailonline interview, Myers encouraged individuals to ponder on his existence and urged them to take risks and follow their aspirations without hindrance. He expressed his belief in aiming for the highest goal possible such as reaching the moon. Myers also shared his father's wise words about taking chances and completing tasks to increase the likelihood of success, like filling in a coupon to win the Pools.

Myers rose to stardom with King, his closest ally and colleague for three decades, as one half of the food-loving motorcycle riding team. Jointly, they set out to explore novel culinary delights and exhilarating experiences across the UK, as well as internationally.

At present, you can catch them side-by-side on the BBC program titled Hairy Bikers: Go West, and this show is set to continue airing later in the week.

Myers, hailing from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, initially disclosed he was undergoing cancer therapy in May 2022. However, he refrained from stating the specific nature of the illness.

As a way of showing respect, King expressed: "I'll feel his absence daily and the connection and companionship we had for more than five decades will be dearly missed."

"I hope God blesses you and grants you success, my dear brother. You are and will continue to be a guiding light for everyone. We will meet again in the afterlife. I love you."
