“American Idol” rocker David Cook was hospitalized after last night’s show, a source confirms to People. The guitar-slinging hunk was reportedly
treated for high blood pressure and sent back home to the “Idol” apartments.
Cook, one of Simon Cowell’s favorites, soared through Dolly Parton’s “Little Sparrow,” but soon after, he went missing from the bleachers as the rest of the contestants watched Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown’s live performance.
TMZ.com says an “Idol” executive explained that David has been an emotional wreck because his cancer-stricken brother is not doing well.
David I have to admit, you didn’t always sing the songs of my choice, but you were amazing.. The song you sang tonight, 4/1/09, on Idol “Come back to Me” brought back memories & tears to my eyes.. Have to admit I’m 59 yr’s old, an old lady I know, but the feeling was still there. You have done a wonderful job with this song. Bless you young man & I wish you good fortune in your future..
I want you to know my prayers are with you & your family during your Brothers illness. I, my familly, have felt loss. Take care..
If you ever make it to Lafayette, Louisiana please don’t hesitate to contact me. We have a three bedroom house you could stay in. If my husband is back in the country maybe we could even arrange a crawfish boil for you. But if you now require a private place I can understand & I’ll do my best to make arrangements for this. But if not my sons, daughter & grandbaby’s would love to have you here. We would make you an honoary family member. Take care David..
Best wishes,
Mrs. Anita Webster & Family
