Idol contestant, David Cook, will have his brother in the audience on Tuesday and Wednesday night. His brother, Adam Cook, 36, is suffering from brain cancer.

A source close to the show confirmed that Adam will be present at the show when the top six idol contestants perform songs from Mariah Carey’s catalogue.

Adam is apparently too ill to take a commercial flight so he’ll be flown in on a special medical charter.

The Board of Directors at Clarian Health in Indianapolis are paying for the medic, nurse and Leer jet transportation while a local Terre Haute radio station is paying for the Cooks’ hotel stay.

Adam has apparently really perked up since receiving news that he’ll be able to see his brother sing. He’d been sick in bed for several days prior to getting the good news, but now he’s much more active.
