Adam Cook passes away at 36

David Cook's older brother Adam, 36, passed away early this morning after a long battle with cancer. It was a brain tumor that was the actual cause of death. Per an article from EOnline:

Adam Cook, 36, a lawyer, died early Sunday morning after an 11-year struggle with the disease, which had spread to his spine. He leaves behind his wife, Kendra, and their children.

Adam was referenced multiple times throughout the course of Season 7 and David's song "Permanent" from his self-titled album is dedicated to him. Watch David make the sad announcement at this morning's 12th annual Race for Hope in Washington, D.C.:



IDOL LIVE's and all of David's fans' thoughts and prayers will go out to his family in this difficult time. It is great to see the positivity he is exemplifying and that he is keeping his head held high.
