Exclusive: Idol's David Cook Meets His #1 Fan!
A brave little girl's dream just came true!
As Star exclusively reported in April, while David Cook was singing his way to the Season 7 American Idol championship, he was being cheered on by his biggest fan, 7-year-old Tampa, Fla. native Lindsey Rose Belcher, who's been fighting the good fight against leukemia since last Christmas. And in a show of support, David wore an orange plastic band on his wrist during his televised performances as a personal message of hope to the adorable youngster.
Behind the scenes, David called Lindsey Rose right after his May 21 victory and promised her they would meet in person when the Idol tour made its way to her hometown. That day arrived on Aug. 21, and squeals of delight mingled with tears of joy as big-hearted David, 25, kept his promise to Lindsey Rose, treating her like a little princess during a special day together. "From the moment we arrived, David grabbed Lindsey by the hand and the two were inseparable," her father Charley Belcher, a feature reporter for Fox WTVT Channel 13 in Tampa, tells Star. "They are friends forever."
Pick up the Sept. 8 issue of Star for more exclusive photos of David and Lindsey Rose, and the full, heartwarming story of their storybook meeting!
