David Cook’s Brother Adam Dies Of Cancer

David Cook announced the death of his older brother Adam at the Race For Hope marathon this Sunday in DC. Adam’s struggle with cancer was regularly referenced over Season 7 of American Idol, with Adam getting to visit the show after friends and neighbors raised $45,000 for a private plane with a nurse. Cook’s team raised almost $100,000 for brain cancer research at the marathon. “I will be here every year that they will have me,” he told the runners.

Watch David’s performance of “Always Be My Baby,” which Adam saw in person, after the jump.
