David Cook, last season’s “American Idol”winner and a Blue Springs native, canceled two scheduled shows this week to deal with “family matters.”
“We are canceling Monday and Tuesday’s shows to allow David time to deal with personal family matters,” an announcement posted on his official Web site read. “Please respect his privacy at this time. David would like everyone to rest assured that we are working with the universities to reschedule the shows that are missed.”
No specifics were given on the “family matters,” but Cook’s brother, Adam, has been battling advanced brain cancer. An “American Idol” representative told People magazine that Cook spent time with Adam last week.
The canceled shows were scheduled in New Hampshire and Connecticut, as part of his first tour, “The Declaration Tour,” running through October. The tour started in February to support his self-titled debut album.
Fans showed support on his Web site in response to the announcement, urging him to take as much time as he needs.
