After the phenomenal success of Craig "David" in Manila Concert, another sure hit concert will take place in the country, this time will be the much awaited "David vs. David" show of the two finalists of last year's American idol, David Cook and David Archuleta happening at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds on May 16, 2009.
This concert will be the first major concert of American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook outside the United States. Meanwhile, last May 2 Cook's brother died. As said by David Cook in his blog, "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." On the other hand, David Archuleta extended his sympathy to the Cook family. "I know they had been struggling with it for a while, so my heart really goes out to them", Archuleta said.
In view of the recent death of David's brother, His Tour Manager for the upcoming Manila concert quickly released an official statement thanking the fans for the thoughts and prayers and emphasized that the show will continue as scheduled and that David Cook is looking forward to see his Filipino fans.
Ticket prices starts at Php315 (Standing) to Php3625 (VIP) made available by TicketNet.
