Robert DeBitetto, A&E's programming senior vice president also gave explanation for absence.
"Patrick has asked that I tell you that this morning he checked himself into the hospital for observation," "Chemotherapy can take its toll on the immune system, and illnesses are a part of that. Patrick wishes me to tell you that he's very sorry he cannot attend, but plans to get back to promoting `The Beast' soon." Robert has made this comment.
Patrick Swayze's spokesperson namely Annett Wolf has given the confirmation that Swayze was in the hospital. However he has declined to say anything in details.
