After battling cancer for more than 10 years, American Idol star David Cook’s brother, Adam, 37, succumbed to the disease Saturday. David made the announcement at the Washington D.C. Race for Hope 5K, which raises money to support finding a cure for brain cancer, this morning. “Like everybody here, I’m affected by this disease. I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor,” Cook said, as you can hear members of the crowd gasping. “I couldn’t imagine… I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else right now.” David was serving as grand marshal of the event and ran the 3.1 miles in 28 minutes. “I lost one today,” Cook added. “But I’ve gained 9,000 and I will be here every year that they will have me.”
In honor of Adam’s memory, fans can make donations to David’s Race for Hope team, the singer’s rep tells EW. (Contributions will be accepted through Sept. 30.) So far, the team has raised more than $51,000.
David Cook returns to American Idol, singing “Come Back to Me.” He’s as controlled, intense and good as he was on the show last year.

David Cook has attracted some ire from fans and bloggers after issuing a plea for privacy during his tour on his MySpace blog. “The efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn,” he writes in a post dated Sunday. “Should this behavior continue, the only thing we can do is take more preventative measures to maintain our privacy, which in turn makes us less accessible to you.” » Read more: David Cook: Unappreciative or rightly frightened?
