David Cook Performs, His Mom Gets Close to Steven Tyler on 'American Idol'

In anticipation of his upcoming album, seventh season winner David Cook performed his new single, 'The Last Goodbye,' on the 'American Idol' (Thu., 8PM ET on FOX) results show. But his mother may have been even more excited to be returning to the stage that made him famous.


After his performance, Cook revealed to Ryan Seacrest that when she found out about him being on the show, she said, "I just want to meet Steven Tyler." So Seacrest made it happen.


"I'm watching you, man." Cook said as his mother made her way to the dais for two very warm and close hugs from Tyler.


"We're gonna have to have a conversation when the cameras go off," Cook said sternly. Making a spectacle like that on national television. Honestly! Actually, the whole encounter was very cute, and Cook was clearly having fun in the situation.


What did you think of Cook's return to the 'Idol' stage?

David Cook returns to 'American Idol,' performs 'The Last Goodbye'

 "American Idol's" Season 7 champ David Cook finally returned home on Thursday, Apr. 21, for the Top 7 results show. The appearance kick-started promotion for his sophmore album

"This Loud Morning," which will be released on June 28.

Cook performed the first single off the new album "The Last Goodbye," which we think is going to be a huge hit on the radio. The single is now available for download on iTunes and Amazon. Cook looked great in his all-back suit and perfectly coiffed hair (yes, we're that vain) and he sounded great.

"It's great to be back!," Cook said after his performance, but was kind of drowned out by the crazy loud audience, which rivals the audience reaction Adam Lambert received when he returned to "Idol." Cook's mom also came... but just because she wanted to meet Steven Tyler. Too. Cute.

May 1, Cook will be participating in the 14th annual Race For Hope in Washington, D.C., which is a 5K run/walk that helps fund a cure for brain tumors and brain cancer. This is Cook's third year participating in the event and you can find more information on how you can participate and help on his official website.
