Simon Cowell has publicly thanked the medical team who treated him in Los Angeles following a harrowing accident that left him with a broken back. The music mogul, known for his roles on shows like The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, took to social media to share his appreciation, describing the nurses and doctors as “some of the nicest people I have ever met.”
The incident occurred when Cowell fell off his new electric bike while testing it in the courtyard of his Malibu home. In a humorous twist, the 60-year-old reflected on the experience, advising others to “read the manual” before riding an electric bike for the first time.
Cowell tweeted his thanks to friends and fans for their supportive messages, urging everyone to “stay safe.” He underwent surgery that included the installation of a metal rod in his back after doctors confirmed he had broken it in several places. A representative stated that he was “doing fine” post-operation.
The accident took place while Cowell was with his six-year-old son, Eric, who was reportedly present during the fall. Friends and colleagues, including Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, have shared their well-wishes on social media, with Holden noting that Cowell is “doing really well” and wishing him a swift recovery. This incident marks another challenging moment for Cowell, who previously suffered a fall down the stairs at his London home in 2017
