David Cook was on Good Morning America this morning.

And the American Idol star was nice enough to let Kris Allen and Glambert share his spotlight.

Watch above as Adam and Kris make great backup singers to David's powerhouse performance of Fleetwood Mac's song, Little Lies.

David Cook and David Archuleta were politely asked by Philippine health authorities to have themselves checked for swine flu before performing in the Philippines on Saturday.

That's still an issue????

Edgardo Sabitsana, director of the quarantine bureau, had officials go to the boy's hotel and arrange a mandatory health check, one they should have had when they arrived at the airport. Sabitsana reminded them that they could be arrested if they did not cooperate.

So they did.

Part of the briefing after the examination was a reminder to keep a distance of six feet from other people, how to identify flu-like symptoms, and to use hand sanitizers.

Such a warm welcome!

Only a week after his dear brother's death, David Cook got back to his tour this past weekend.

The clearly heartbroken singer took the stage in Akron, Ohio, and struggled through several of his performances, though he made no actual mention of the tragedy. During one of his songs, Cook stopped to address the audience by saying: "It's gonna be tough for me. I'm sorry. Do you mind if I sing a different song?"

Reports also said that Cook walked off the stage entirely during his song Come Back to Me, but returned five minutes later.

Our thoughts go out to you David.

Keep on staying strong!

As we mentioned this weekend, American Idol winner David Cook's older brother, Adam, passed away Saturday from brain cancer after battling the disease for years.

On Sunday, David participated in the Race For Hope in D.C. to help raise money and awareness to fight against brain tumors, where he briefly touched on Adam's passing.

And, now, Cook has taken to his official blog to talk about the tragic loss of his older brother.

He says:

"On Behalf of My Family and Myself"

I wanted to write everyone and say a few things, in light of recent events, to dispel any misinformation that may be circulating and to say thank you on behalf of my family and myself to everyone who has shown even the slightest bit of support to us and our efforts as a family to help eradicate this terrible affliction.

My brother, Adam, passed away at 11:52pm Eastern, May 2nd. He was 37 years old and leaves behind his wife and two children. We had played Sunfest in West Palm Beach that night, walking off stage at approximately 11:00pm Eastern, and I rushed to get on a plane to fly to Washington D.C., to be a part of the Race For Hope-D.C., a fundraiser for research and development of a cure for brain cancer. I learned of Adam’s passing upon getting to my hotel around 3:00am Eastern. I decided to run in the race, despite all of this, for two reasons. First, my brother never wanted his illness to affect others. That was evident in the fact that he wanted his illness to have no part in my experience on Idol, a point he was quite adamant about. So, with that wish in mind, I ran and was involved with the event as an homage to him. Secondly, there are many people who are still battling, and by running and sharing my brother’s story, I hope that it offers those still fighting that much more resolve to not succumb to this wretched disease.

I want to again thank everyone who donated to the race and continues to donate, sent a kind email, posted thoughts and prayers, called, etc. I take it as affirmation that my brother was the great man that I knew, and whose ideals I constantly try to uphold in myself. It is with those ideals in tow that I vow to continue to speak out in hopes of raising whatever necessary to help eliminate cancer entirely.

Also, I mentioned earlier that Adam never wanted his illness to affect anyone. So, with the exception of our Toledo, OH, show on May 6th, which we will do everything possible to reschedule, all other shows will go on as scheduled.

Lastly, thank you to everyone for allowing us, as a family, to grieve and come to terms privately. This event has shown me, beyond doubt, that I have the greatest people in my life, family, friends, and fans alike, and for that, I can never offer enough thanks.

~D

Stay strong, David.

Our thoughts are with ya!

"I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now," an emotional David Cook told a crowd of supporters at the Race For Hope in D.C.

Just 24 hours earlier, the American Idol winner's older brother, Adam, passed away from a brain tumor, the very same thing they were raising money for yesterday.

Watch David's emotional speech (above).

Our thoughts are with him and his family!
