Patrick Swayze will be remembered on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars - the U.S. show's professionals will perform interpretive dances to the music from his hit films Dirty Dancing and Ghost.
The dancer/actor, who lost his battle with cancer on Monday (14Sep09), was a guest teacher on the first series of the hit series in 2005.
He'll be honoured during an episode on 23 September (09).
A spokesman for the show says, "He inspired many people and many of our pros to dance."
The 57-year-old Ghost and Dirty Dancing star passed away in Los Angeles on Monday (14Sep09), and was confirmed his publicist Annett Wolf.
Swayze went public with his pancreatic cancer battle in early 2008 and underwent regular bouts of chemotherapy as he repeatedly denied tabloid reports he was close to death after learning the cancer had spread to his liver.
The actor is survived by his high school sweetheart, Lisa Niemi, who he wed in 1975.
