Patrick Swayze has checked into the hospital for observation as he has pneumonia.    A&E president Abbe Raven:

“As we arrived here this morning we have some news,” ”Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital. However, he asked us specifically to go forward with today’s panel. We wish him the very best with his recovery.”

Patrick was set to discuss his new show The Beast which begins airing Monday.

Patrick told Barbara Walters in his interview:

You can bet that I’m going through hell,” he said. “And I’ve only seen the beginning of it.”  “There’s a lot of fear here,” he said. “Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m [asking], why me.”

Always the fighter, Patrick is not letting it get him down:

“I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life,” he said, “not lived in the shadow of cancer, but in the light.”

We wish Patrick a speedy recovery.   To send your wishes to him, you can do so at:
