Patrick Swayze Has Been Released from Hospital

Good news came from Patrick Swayze.

After checking himself in with pneumonia about a week ago, Dirty Dancing actor Patrick Swayze has been released from the hospital last Friday.

As his publicist, Annett Wolf announced, “I am happy to announce that Patrick Swayze is home after a brief hospitalization for pneumonia.” Wolf would not give any further details on Swayze’s condition, but said that he “is well enough to have been released.” The 56-year-old actor is now resting at his Los Angeles home, accompanied by his beloved wife, 52-year-old Lisa.

Swayze was hospitalized on January 9, just hours before he was scheduled to appear at an event to promote his new TV crime drama, “The Beast,” which premiered on the A&E cable network on Thursday (Jan 15). In the series, he plays an FBI veteran who trains a rookie partner played by Travis Fimmel. The premiere episode received a warm welcome, and Swayze is expected will still be among the cast for at least the next season of the series.

The actor who played alongside Demi Moore in Ghost, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. And although the condition is serious, Swayze says his spirit is strong. He told Barbara Walters of ABC News in a TV interview broadcast early January that he was “going through hell” and might have only two years to live. Swayze said he will not give up because of the disease.

Glad to hear it Mr. Swayze, best wishes for you!
