American Idol 7 champ David Cook has sent a message to fans who get a little too close for comfort: “Back up and back off!”

David is apparently getting a little overwhelmed by overly aggressive fans and has issued a plea for privacy while on tour in support of his self-titled debut album. The champ has warned that if the unruly behavior continues, he’s prepared to implement strict security measures that could adversely affect all of his fans.

On Sunday, the musician took to his Celebrity MySpace blog to plea with to overzealous fans in a post entitled “Attention!”

“First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been coming out to the shows since my last post. The vibe at these shows has been amazing. Secondly, I have to address some behavior that has become disturbing,” David wrote. “We pride ourselves on being accessible to you as fans, but in contrast, we do enjoy what little privacy we can muster. To that end, the efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn.”

He added, “This relationship only works when it remains healthy for both parties, and should this behavior continue, the only thing we can do is take more preventative measures to maintain our privacy, which in turn makes us less accessible to you.”

David concludes the post by saying, “I hope this doesn’t come off as harsh. I merely want to nip this in the bud so we can continue to have a great experience with all of you at the shows we have coming up. Take care and see you at the next show.”
