The latest American Idol champ is from Kansas City and in his ongoing tour, he has only one concert in Kansas. Thus, tickets to David Cook’s show in Ameristar Casino on April 22 were sold out in six minutes upon selling. That’s the bad news. An even worse news is that the casino received some reports of fake tickets being offered for sale! So be warned David Cook fans — don’t give your hard-earned money to scammers! Ameristar public relations manager Roxann Kinkade said “To my knowledge, this has been Ameristar’s most quick selling show.”

Now, Ameristar says someone has approached them who tried to buy tickets through the web site Craigslist, and never received them. Ameristar also learned that some tickets also have been offered for sale on ticket resale web sites for seats that do not exist in the pavilion. Ameristar Casino Hotel General Manager Chet Koch said,”We have no way of knowing how many of these tickets may have been purchased, but we don’t want even one guest to be surprised and disappointed on concert night if he or she discovers a ticket isn’t legitimate.” BE WARNED GUYS!

We all know that the American Idol champ performed last April 1 on the show that made him famous. What was surprising was the deluge of queries that came with regards to the lyrics of the song that David Cook performed. The song was written by Espionage, a Norwegian songwriting and music production team consisting of Amund Bjørklund and Espen Lind, along with Zac Maloy. The producer was Grammy winner Rob Cavallo who has worked with top music artists including Dave Matthews Band, Kid Rock and Avril Lavigne. Ain’t David Cook grand? So, without further ado, here’s the “Come Back To Me” lyrics after the jump. Enjoy! =)

The latest AI champ will return to the the singing reality show’s stage for the first time since being crowned the Season 7 winner, and I’m sure it’s gonna be a blast! And no, this is not an April Fools Day joke considering that David Cook will perform on that day. But then, you never know with those American Idol producers! Especially since they haven’t yet announced what the top 9 finalists will perform this week

Anyway, David Cook will sing “Come Back to Me,” the latest single off of his self-titled debut album. His guesting comes in the midst of his first headline tour, which kicked off February 13 and has played to sold-out venues. Performing on American Idol that same night is Lady Gaga, singing “Poker Face.” Lady Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, was released in 2008, and its first single, “Just Dance,” netted a Grammy nod for Best Dance Recording. No, David Cook and Lady Gaga won’t duet :-p

In a recent interview with Weekender, the American Idol champ was asked about the music influences that inspired his self-titled album. David Cook answered, “I tried to pull from everything, not just the last year and a half. That was tough. My life has been consumed by “Idol” ever since I got on the show. I really took a minute to step back and think about everything — my family and friends, and my experiences before and after “Idol.” I wanted to put together more of a complete biography as opposed to what everybody saw on the show.” And David Cook was happy with the way his debut album turned out =)

As for the contributions he made to the album, the musician on tour shared: “To come from “Idol” and the hectic schedule that followed, to be able to co-write 10 songs on that record was huge for me. It allows me to put more emotion into the songs and to invest in them. I’m extremely happy with the record.” So, what’s next for David Cook? The hunky singer says, “We’re going to stay on the road until the wheels fall off. I’ve been able to have a lot of fun on this tour, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being with my band on the road. And I’m looking forward to keeping it going.”

And we got some of the scoop! =) The said Finnish magazine is called MeNaiset and below are the highlights of David Cook’s interview. Read fanatics and enjoy!!

When an “ordinary guy” becomes American Idol, life goes upside down. How has the last year changed you?
David Cook: “I see things in a wider scale now. I used to play in a band and work as a bartender in Tulsa. I was quite happy with my life but now everything is bigger. The most special experience of the year was to go to Iraq and play with the band to the soldiers. That was cool.

You got to make songs into your album with our own idol, Raine Maida from our Lady Peace. How did you react when you heard about that opportunity?
David: “I was terrified! I was scared that everything would go wrong or that he would be a jerk. But everything was great and I consider him as a friend now. I call him sometimes and we go to play golf, which is really weird. It’s strange how things change. That’s something to ponder about.”

Rockers get chicks but how is it with Idols?
David Cook: “Hahaha! After I won AI I’ve had one girlfriend but now I’m single. I’ve spent all my life dreaming of being a rockstar and having women’s attention and now, when I finally am a star I don’t have time for dating. Quite ironic huh.”

According to the latest American Idol champ, his competition with the teen heartthrob ended with the show. David Cook says, “I think Archie’s a fantastic individual and so the way I look at it is we’re both doing better than we were a year before … As I said kind of before the records came out, I hope he sells a million and I hope I sell a million and one.” LOL! When the show’s executives decided to team the rocker with runner-up David Archuleta for post-show promotion, David Cook says he looked at it as ”I’ve got to continue through this process with kind of a friend in tow.”

Unlike David Archuleta, the rocker champ is not a solo performer. In fact, he’s got a band which he describes as ”four of my friends” that go touring with him. David Cook says of his current concert tour, “The only thing I want to get across to anybody that comes out to the show is that I want people to come out and try to have a good time, ’cause that’s what we’re onstage to do.”
