Simon Cowell has suffered from a variety of health issues as a result of two separate bicycle accidents that occurred over a two-year period.
During their recent appearance on The Today Show, Simon and the other America’s Got Talent judges openly discussed these incidents. The program’s hosts included Howie Mandel, Terry Crews, and Heidi Klum.
The 63-year-old star, who had fallen from his e-bike in Malibu in 2020, met the same fate while riding around London in early 2022. In a commercial for America’s Got Talent’s forthcoming 18th season, Simon was asked how these losses had changed his perspective on life.
When asked how he felt physically before the calamities, he replied, “wasn’t in the best shape before the mishaps, so they were far from terrific, rather quite terrible.” It wasn’t until the mending that I discovered how inadequate I truly was.
After that, he stated, “It was a revelation, a true god’s moment!” Simon stated that he believed everything happened for a reason after witnessing his unwavering excitement for riding. He exclaimed, “I’m not giving up on my bike,” much to the delight of his teammates. I am in awe of these wonderful works. Simon was taken to the hospital after the second incident, when he was revealed to have a concussion and a broken arm.
Even though the second crash was less severe than the first, he nevertheless injured his back and had to wear a wrist brace for several months as a result.
Following these incidents, Simon shifted his lifestyle, primarily for the benefit of his nine-year-old son Eric. Lauren Silverman, Simon’s fiancée, served as inspiration.
In an April 2018 interview with The Sun, he discussed dealing with the aftermath of his e-bike accident. When he damaged his back, he said, “I was in such a terrible place that I considered going to therapy for the first time in my life.” I was dissatisfied since I couldn’t express my sentiments to Eric.
