Cancer-Stricken Bro to Watch Idol Hopeful in Person

Posted Apr 15, 08 11:16 AM CDT in Arts & Living Gossip 

(Newser) – This may be American Idol contestant David Cook's biggest week—and not because he might get the boot. Cook's older brother, who is battling brain cancer, will make the dangerous flight from his Indiana sickbed to watch his kid brother perform tonight, People reports. A frail Adam will be aided by his wife, a medic, and nurse for the risky commute.
