Patrick Swayze, 56, checked himself into the hospital this morning, A&E President Bob DeBitetto said Friday at the TV Critics Association Press Tour in Hollywood.
Swayze, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for a year, was admitted for observation after coming down with pneumonia. Chemotherapy is known to take a toll on the immune system.
"Patrick thanks everybody for the outpouring of support he's received," DeBitetto continued, adding, "Patrick will be promoting 'The Beast' as soon as he's back on his feet and feeling well again."
Swayze was to appear at the press tour in Los Angeles to promote his new TV series “The Beast,” which premieres January 15th on A&E at 10 p.m.
Co-executive producer Vincent Angell said this is just a "bump in the road" for Swayze and "we all wish him well."
