American Idol winner David Cook lost his brother, Adam Cook, early Sunday morning to the cancer he had been battling for 11 years. The disease had spread to his spine and the 36 year old father of two was suffering from a large brain tumor.
David Cook made the announcement later the very same day while presiding as honorary chairman at the 12th Annual Race for Hope 5K event in Washington, D.C., an event which raises money to fund brain cancer research.
“I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor, and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else right now,” Cook told the crowd. His team raised more than $97,000 for the event. “I lost one today,” Cook said, “but I gained 9,000, and I will be here every year that they will have me.”
Straying for the point a bit but…
…he looks very attractive in this pic.
11 years?! Oh my goodness.. This is too sad.
Oh how sad. :(
My Family and I would like you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family with this tragic news of the lose of your brother!
My heart is breaking for you all!
Sincerly,
hope for all and family!
He and his family are in my thoughts.
r.i.p
:(
That’s so sad.
Now, don’t think I’m a heartless bastard for bringing this up now, but if he wins Idol from pity votes I’m going to cut a bitch.
This is last seasons winner..
He already won.
I feel really bad for him. And I agree with Trini, this is an incredibly attractive photo of him (:
Oh whatever, you know I don’t know the other people’s names. I only watch Adam.
During the show last year, he never mentioned his brother at all. He just had AC on his guitar (not all the time).
I work with cancer patients(for a oncology pharmacy). I help get funding from non-profit orgz to help people pay for their meds that otherwise cant afford it. I can’t tell you how sad it is to lose a patient, and we have no physical contact with them. My heart goes out to David.
36 is way too young. Sad.
RIP.
