An "A.I." exec tells us Cook has been completely stressed out because his brother, who has been sick with [brain] cancer, had a setback within the last week. Earlier in the season, just before a performance, David collapsed and said he could not go on -- though he pulled it together at the last minute.

Be well David Cook!
