Fans of the franchise have been assure by his wife Angie, however, that he is in a stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.

“Peter is indeed in the hospital with pneumonia. He will make a full recovery, and hope to be discharged within a few days. Doctors are incredibly happy with his improvements.

“Sorry for the absence, we left our tablets at home, so we have been unable to post to reddit for a bit. I’ll make sure he pops in later in the day.”
