"American Idol" contestant David Cook was rushed to the hospital Tuesday night after experiencing heart palpitations throughout the day, TMZ reported.
Show medics said Cook's blood pressure was "far too high" and urged the aspiring "Idol" to seek treatment, but he did not want to leave until the show concluded, the Web site said.
Doctors gave Cook medicine to bring down his blood pressure and released him after a few hours, TMZ said. He was taken to the "Idol" apartments and was "doing fine," People magazine reported.
According to TMZ, an "Idol" source said Cook, a top contender on the singing competition, has been under a lot of pressure over his brother's battle with cancer; in an earlier show, he collapsed before performing and said he could not continue, but wound up being able to go through with the program.
Before being driven to the hospital, Cook, sporting a new haircut, pleased the judges with his rendition of Dolly Parton's "Little Sparrow."
