"I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor." He said it so suddenly.
RIP Adam Cook and David stay strong!
It was sudden because ... if he's anything like me ... he knew he had to get it out quickly, and after he had gained some momentum, or he would never make it through his presentation. He did not want the speech to be about his loss, but about those still fighting. You can tell the love he had for his brother in the respect he had for the survivors there.
David - you showed strength by being there - we need to celebrate their lives - we had the joy of having my husband's son with us for 11 years after he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer - we make sure we enjoy each of every moment we have with everyone around us - our life is only a dash and Marshall went ahead of us at 25 years of age - 3 years ago. We understand a piece of what David went through and we admire your strength for being there today.
I lost my dad to cancer. David and his family will be in my prayers.
I have never seen this... and I don't know how I haven't. I am bawling. I don't know how he did it.
I saw him Saturday night, someone talked him into singing Permanent for us, and he was struggling to keep it together. He is such a sweet man with such a beautiful heart.
I listened to this song because The love of my life told me about it She had lost her mom recently way to young and misses her dearly ,and after listening to it i see why it reminds her of her mom.Its a beautiful song as was her mother. I to lost my true mom early so i totally understand losing the people we love in our lives. Remember them for they live on in our hearts forever.....Just remember and never forget! I Love you Baby Girl now n forever.....May pennies rain on you from heaven always!
Seeing him cry just broke my heart. He is an amazing person, with so much heart.
What a guy. He can even be funny, and take the time to come out on a rainy day...the VERY DAY after his brother passes away. He has earned my full respect, and I wish him the best~
What a tremendous gift not only for your Brother, but for all the survivors who continue to inspire us all.
God bless you all.
OMG! That's so sad. RIP Adam Cook. May you finally know peace.
I'm just now seeing this 4 years after this took place but I just have to say... David Cook has to be one of THE STRONGEST people around. To lose his brother the day before and to speak as well as he did is amazing. I know how tough that is. I have nothing but love and support for David. And he is a HUGE source of inspiration for me.
What a shock to hear about his brother. I remember seeing his brother, Adam on American Idol and noticing how much him and David look alike. I never knew he was sick. My prayers go out to him and his family and friends. Go rest high on that mountain, Adam!
It's so sad how he starts crying right after he says it
I can't imagine losing my twin sister, and I pray I never have to. I can't fathom a life without her; I can't fathom living. Take strength when others give it to you, and be uplifted by videos like this. Seek always the inspiration to keep going; even in your time of grief, your sister is with you forever in your heart. You two are parts of a greater whole; not half a person, but entire within each other's love. She has a piece of you, and you will forever have a piece of her. God bless you.
WOW! This is the 1st time I've seen this … made me tear up. This man IS class!
I recently lost my twin sister.
This video makes me cry. Love you David
Does anyone else notice that when David announced the death of his brother the rain drops started to hit the camera lens? As if tears were falling. :'(
This takes on even more meaning for me since participating in the RFH this year for the first time and watching David do this year's speech. Having been in this year's audience, I can feel a little more what it must have been like to be there when he made this announcement. I'm in awe of his strength to go through with the race the day after Adam's death and the strength to make that announcement to everyone. I just want to hug him so bad right after he says it. :(
No idea how he did this, he must be so strong
Adam will always in your heart and memory- David ! ❤️🥺🙏🏻
This always makes me cry
Anybody else noticed the surge of rain after David told everyone his bro passed away???? Rest in Peace Adam. Hi to my Dad.
This broke my heart into 1,000 pieces. no one should have to go through this. and the fact that he is making jokes shows more strength than anyone I know. All my love goes to him!
omg i cant belive he is gone. everytime i think of it or even look at any pics i wanna cry. Respects to David and family.
Such a brave, kind-hearted man. So dedicated to this cause running it after just having lost his brother. RIP Adam.
The first time I saw this was 5 days after it was posted I have watched it a couple times because my friends wanted to see it so I showed them it.. I cry EVERY time and think about how painful it is to lose someone. Which make me humble and more sympathetic than ever.
RIP AC. I just saw DC last Friday, 1 May. Much sympathy, respect and admiration.
Aw! I feeel so sorry for him. I lost my mom to cancer when I was ten. It really is a cruel disease. My prayers are with him and his family.
David your courage, endurance and the love for your brother surpass no one ~ You are My hero.
David has the biggest heart and seeing this made me cry. It takes alot of courage to be that together after the passing of a loved one! My heart goes out to him and his family during this time. Maybe I will participate in the race next year!
Wow...David is so strong, it's unbelievable. I started crying watching this. Only a little over a week ago I lost my step-great-grandma to pancreatic cancer. I didn't know her all too much, but this reminded me of what happened and I started crying harder. My other great-grandma who I was closer to is old and sick too, and is probably going to die soon. Life sucks when it hits you hard, but David seems so strong it's unbelievable...you're my inspiration David.
my heart goes out to all cancer patients, my grandfather (the man who rasied me) is going through stage 4 brain cancer (glioblastoma) its such a hard thing exspecaily when he dont remember any off us :/ cheers to all the serviovrs out there and the ones still fighting!
God be with him and his family. I can certainly feel the pain because when I lost my father in cancer last year, it was the most bitter day of my life. However, I was okay the first few days but after few months; I realized that dad was really gone and still feel the pain. I made a life time commitment in studying cancer and medicine now which I enjoy every day of my life.
this is making me cry! rest in peace adam . and david, we all know that adam is still watching over you .. happy for you. dont worry .. we love both of you.
he is so cute, and such a good singer. i lost my aunt to breast cancer. it is so sad. he is so strong.
Can't believe it's been 3 years since Adam died and since David made the announcement. David is such a brave and strong man. It takes of selflessness to do what he did. For any human being to be able to make that kind of announcement in front of 9000 people just hours after the tragedy occurred is just amazing. I personally love David not only for his talent but for his big heart. He is a special person and I'm sure his brother is watching over him and smiling.
So sad that he lost his brother. :( RIP Adam.
condolence to you david...
its amazing how you can make people laugh even though inside you're being torn apart.. thats just so admirable..
RIP ADAM COOK
David Cook is so strong for being able to stand up in front of all those people and announce that. I know how he feels, I lost my 5 year old cousin to a brain tumor, however I continue on knowing that she isn't in pain anymore, and same goes for Adam Cook and all other people who have passed away. It's sad because all you have is a memory left, and those memories fade over time, but new ones are embraced. Only more good things will come to David and his family now that Adam is their guardian.
Announcement @ 1:53...tears in my eyes by 1:55....just gut-wrenching. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family

What a strong man a strong man isn't based on muscle but by heart and it makes u strong 2 cry
I'm in tears. I almost couldn't watch it. I was shocked when I read the news.... My thoughts are with David and the family... How amazing that David actually appeared and ran the race....:(
I have not watched this is a long time and it brought me to tears again.
David is one of those celebrities that I really wish I could meet and get to know.
its so sad....Permanet is probably the most heart crushing song i have evr heard. it always makes me cry..
What a class act! To suffer such a tragic loss and the next day be able to speak as well as he did and run for a great cause! Shows just how big a heart he has!!! Such an amazing person!
David Cook you are an amazing human being. There could be no better American Idol. As a fan I'd like to say we are here for you and are so sorry for your loss. Hang on. T.T
David Cook is a true American idol, his song truly expresses his feeling from his heart. We love you!
He is an amazing guy.I had a customer who said that he is amazing and he is very humble in person,when I was with Dish Network.He even said that even if he is already famous,he never brag about it.I love him.He's my favorite Idol.
Had always liked and admired David Cook. Seeing this confirms why. Class act, Mr. Cook.
It is so so easy to love this man...more and more and more....a very special human being, and I am so proud to be Cookified for life
just saw him in concert for the first time, love his voice, his personality, and compassion that he has
He is an incredible person to be able to have stuck to this commitment to be there and participate at such a painful time.
God bless David and Adam.
I just found out yesterday about the passing of your brother. May his spirit rest in peace. My condolences to you and your family. RIP Adam
David C.
My condolescense to you and your Family..God bless everyone in your Family your Mom,Dad and your brother who is in a better Place.Peace&Love.
I lost it right there. I just have to keep in mind that Adam is free from the pains and suffering that is brain cancer. It's no joke battling it for 10 years. He's an inspiration to all those who are struggling with the deadly disease.
David, you are truly a class act. I could not fathom how you handled everything so well there. My prayers are with you and your family.
Finally, as cheesy as this line gets, I mean all honesty when I say that David Cook is my idol.
one year later and it still breaks my heart to watch this. David is such an incredible strong, amazing, compassionate and down to earth person. Adam will always be remembered especially through the amazing Race For Hope. I hope to be able to attend the race next year.
So sorry to hear about your brother, David. I am sorry for your loss and I know you are in a lot of pain right now. May God Bless you and keep you in his loving arms. xoxo
Wow...I was shocked to come in this morning to see the news. I heard there was a RUclips, so I searched for it. I can't imagine how he was able to joke at the beginning, being in so much pain with the loss of his brother. As others have said, his brother is no longer in pain. I hope he and his family find some comfort in that.
It's kinda scary how the moment he mentioned his brother's death, the rain comes. My prayers with them
omg that made me cry. i feel so bad for him. but im glad hes out there running for his brother.
aww that made me cry too.. he's awesome for still being there and having such a sense of humor.. amazing person!!
I know his pain, I lost my brother earlier this year. My heart goes out to him.
I actually know David from family aquaintances. He's a really sweet guy and loved his brother very much; he was always there for him and always talked about him. This is really devastating to not just family, but to friends who knew Adam. David is trying to be strong through comedy. Bless his heart. May you rest in peace Adam. :(
Thank you for this!
im very sorry for what happened to david cook's brother,,. i really felt sadness for david,,. cheer up david,,. he's just there around you,,. we are here to support you!!!
Thank you for this!
RIP Adam, my thoughts go out to DC and his family
I know how hard it would be for him to even talk about it
But he amazes me because he could still do all the things he's suppose to even when he's griefing
When I lost my grandpa (precisely a week after Adam's passing) I couldnt go to work nor concentrate on anything for almost a week, he meant the world to me, now still thinking about him, i feel like crying...
So really kudos to DC....
He looks super cute here. This is very touching. Made me tear up.
how could anyone "dislike" this video???
This literally made me cry. Wish everyone out there seeing this all the best
i almost cried....i am sorry....condolence david,,,,R.I.P. Adam..
RIP Adam Cook. I'm glad that David still has his sense of humor, and my thoughts and wishes go out to him and his family in this hard time :(
davids brother lived in my city and i went to the open funeral and i felt really bad and at the time where he got buried there where people hidding behind the tombstones and trees trying to get a picture if david and that was harsh so i am all for david and i wish him luck and i know how hard it is to lose a family member because i lost my dad when i was 3 and my dad is buried in in the cemetery across from adam and david i feel your pain
good luck
My deepest sympathies to David and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.
I felt touched.Although I'm still 17, I'm going to start off my record today of doing 10k for my 1st time for him here in Malaysia today.Rest in peace Adam Cook and also my warm condolences to David Cook for the lost of his brother.
Aww. Poor David.
I feel it's so ironic and sad that the raindrops come just as he begins to tear.. :(
God bless him, this has got to be hard. I appreciate the warm responses,shows how people really care.

So sad :/

awesome person to deal with his pain in such a positive way...RIP Adam
david cook, your amazing! im sorry if you ever read this. i love your music, and im sorry for your brother god bless you.
my sister was 20 minutes from dying when she was 7 from a brain tumor. 7 years later she is (almost) okay, and I can really feel for him. Its never a happy thing to have a family member get cancer, I know because my mom had (eye) cancer too. People who dislike this video aren't thinking about the kids, adults, familes who are devestated right now because a loved one is in the hospital or dead because of brain tumors. This IS a serious thing, and is the cause of death for too many adults and kids
