Patrick Swayze – actor, dancer, singer, cockney rhyming slang mainstay – has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
If you’re like us, you were probably expecting to read that last sentence 20 months ago. That’s when Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the rumours about him only having weeks to live emerged. It’s a testament to Patrick Swayze’s strength of mind that he not only ended up clinging on for over a year and a half, but that he also continued to work painkiller-free for much of it.
It’s a sad day, but at least Point Break will be on TV soon.
Poor old Patrick Swayze. To hear your own obituary once is bad enough. But now he’s heard it twice, which seems a little extravagant.
