A-Ha singer pays tribute to 'brother' Swayze

A-Ha frontman Morten Harket has reportedly paid tribute to the late Patrick Swayze.

The 'Take On Me' singer admitted that he was upset after hearing that Swayze had passed away earlier this month. Harket explained that he was a big fan of the Dirty Dancing star and enjoyed speaking with him in the past, Contactmusic reports.

He said: "I met him once and I was really sad when he died because Michael Jackson passed away and that's been such an uproar, but you haven't seen any of that with Patrick Swayze. I really like him as an actor and I was lucky to meet him once and he was such a nice guy.

"He came up to me and he introduced himself and said, 'You know, we could be brothers!' He was actually the first one to think that he and I looked alike."

Swayze died last week at the age of 57 after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
