Patrick Swayze has denied, with emphasis, the claims that he is dying.

The 56-year-old actor, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, is furious at the “emotional cruelty” of reports he has said goodbye to loved ones after being told he has only weeks to live.

He said: “The only thorn in my side being that many reports have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me. And latest, they’re reporting that I’m on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family!
