David Cook Cancels Shows

The big news in Idol Nation over the weekend is that David Cook has cancelled his next two shows.

He made the announcement at his show Saturday night before he sang his last song, “Light On.”

You can see the announcement here.



David’s website provided a little more information with this announcement:

“We are canceling Monday and Tuesday’s shows to allow David time to deal with personal family matters. Please respect his privacy at this time. David would like everyone to rest assured that we are working with the Universities to reschedule the shows that are missed.”

That’s launched speculation that the reason for the cancellations has something to do with David’s brother, Adam, who as you recall has been living with a brain tumor.

David is scheduled to appear on “American Idol” Wednesday night to sing his new single, “Come Back to Me.” There has been no word from FOX on whether that appearance is still going to happen…

Allow me to add my thoughts and prayers for the Cook family…
