David Cook to Premiere New Single on American Idol Next Week

David Cook will premiere his new single, "The Last Goodbye," on American Idol next Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Season 7 winner, 28, is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album, which hits stores in June. He can currently be heard every week on Idol's results show, performing this season's goodbye song, a remake of Simple Minds' "(Don't You) Forget About Me."

Kelly Clarkson to return to American Idol stage

"I'm certainly looking forward to meeting the new contestants, and also really excited to meet the new judges," Cook told the Reporter. "From what I've seen so far, Steven Tyler is a riot, and I think J. Lo's been incredible. And I'm excited to see Randy, Ryan and everybody behind the scenes."

Idol will welcome another former winner — Kelly Clarkson — to the stage this coming Thursday, when she'll perform with country singer Jason Aldean.

American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8/7c on Fox.
