Patrick Swayze is back in the hospital after coming down with pneumonia. The Beast actor, who is currently battling pancreatic cancer, voluntarily checked himself into a Los Angeles area hospital for observation.

The 56-year-old actor was supposed to appear at the Television Critics Association event but canceled at the last minute.

As we arrived here this morning we have some news," said A&E president Abbe Raven. "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."

We hope that this is just a minor setback in Swayze's battle against cancer.
