Dave Myers admits crying ‘tears of joy’ over health battle
Dave, who is currently battling cancer, has revealed that he is now crying “tears of joy” rather than tears of “anguish” amid his ongoing health battle.
The 66-year-old made the confession during a discussion of his new book – The Hairy Biker’s Ultimate Comfort Food, which is going to be published next Thursday (November 2).
During a chat with the MailOnline, Dave revealed that he has had to learn to ride a bike again following his treatment.
Speaking to the publication, Dave and Si spoke about the new book, as well as their new show, The Hairy Bikers Go West.
Dave Myers issues update
“There’s been a lot of emotion while we were filming and writing this book because we both realised how that feeling of comfort, of having a hug, is really important. We talked a lot about the book during filming because it’s comfort that sees you through the bad times. So doing it has been a great therapy for me, for both of us really, as two mates,” Dave said.
He then later paid tribute to Si, and the suppport he’d given him. He also paid tribute to wife, Lilianna, who he described as his rock.
“To some extent we’re still on it as my diagnosis was in March 2022 and treatment is ongoing. But it’s not necessarily the end of the world,” he said.
“It’s like a diabetic who needs insulin and constant care. At the minute life is pretty damn sweet. Now the tears are tears of joy rather than anguish,” he then added.
