People is reporting that American Idol winner David Cook's brother has died of cancer.
"I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now," Cook, 26, told the crowd at the benefit for brain cancer research (see video here). Cook was both serving as grand marshal and running with a team that raised $98,000.
Cook's brother, Adam, 37, had battled the disease throughout Cook's American Idol competition, and had the chance to see his younger sibling perform in April 2008 on the famous stage. At the time, Adam, a married father and lawyer in Terre Haute, Ind., was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

I hate this story mostly because it involves someone dying young, but also because I can't make any of my lame jokes. Oh well, there's always the next post. Best wishes to the Cooks during this time.
