David Cook talks with Larry King about his brother's death

David Cook last night stopped by Larry King Live for a somber chat about his brother Adam's death and the legacy he would like to live on among other things. Watch the first part of the interview below:



Cook said he has a great family and has been able to surround himself with great people, from his label execs all the way down to his fans. He said Adam maintained his sense of humor all the way to the end and his illness never defined him.

He also talked about being a part of the finale for Season 8, and how it was a lot less stressful than last season's. He also said he "was but wasn't surprised" about Kris Allen winning over Adam Lambert and that he was flattered when Adam told Rolling Stone that Cook was responsible for paving the way for his artistic abilities to perform on the show.

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.
