David Cook's Brother Ambulates to Idol Finale

David Cook by Frank Micelotta /Fox

Flying in the face of reports that circulated on Monday, David Cook's cancer-battling brother, Adam, will be in the American Idol audience for tonight and Wednesday's shows. Sources tell TV's Extra that Adam flew to California on Monday morning, accompanied by a medic nurse.

Due to his illness and the cost involved, Adam has only been able to travel once from Terre Haute, Indiana, to Los Angeles to attend Idol. A fan campaign called "Help Bring Adam Back" was launched last month to raise the $80,000 needed to get Adam to L.A. for the finale, though at this time it is unclear if those efforts played any part in facilitating his Monday trip. - Matt Mitovich
