Simon Cowell Health Details

That has been a rough year for Simon Cowell as the AGT judge. His hand was in a cast as seen on the reality show. But what happened? Well, on 24th January, the executive producer was seen going on the usual bike trailer in London on his electric bike. It was then that he lost control, crashed and that led to breaking his wrist. The news wasn’t initially reported but “The Sun” broke this update on 1st February 2022. Moreover, Cowell wasn’t wearing his helmet as well. 

To make things worse, this wasn’t Simon’s first accident. In August 2019, he had another bike accident. This resulted in him getting a lengthy surgery in three different places. With another accident two years after the surgery, this was pretty risky. A source close to the judge said, “Simon is lucky to be alive,” “He was pedaling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch. He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.”

“Three kindly passers-by jumped into action and stopped the traffic so he wouldn’t be run over. After being ambulance to [a] hospital and given an X-ray, Simon was eventually released that evening — his arm in a yellow cast all the way up to the shoulder — and told to rest.”

But then after he recovered, he caught COVID-19. To make things worse, Simon’s teeth fell out just a week earlier when he was eating a peanut. So, it has been a hard year for Simon with so many things going around in his life. 

Simon also shared his own experience about his first bike accident and said, “I was riding my bike … I went around a corner too fast,”  “That was it, knocked myself out. There were some people nearby, thank God, so they stopped the traffic … I was in a bit of a daze … I got back on my bike and drove one-armed back to the house. That’s how nutty I was.”

It was a few tough months with Simon’s health and they had snatched some precious moments of Simon’s life.

How Is Simon Cowell Now?

The BGT judge is not doing pretty well. His son Eric and fiancée Lauren Silverman joined the star for an amazing weekend at Soho Farmhouse. He was joined by Terri Seymour and her children who were family friends. It was a luxury break that Simon needed amidst the health complications. As a matter of fact, his life changed after the accidents. The tranquil activity involved a lot of walking. He is now in good shape and the toned biceps looked pretty good.

Simon was focusing on burning many calories and got back to cycling. He is doing exercises and multiple activities to attain his fitness.

Though Simon hasn’t shared anything about his latest bike accident, his recovery process is being highly covered by the media. He is talking about the overall care of his health as Covid-19 has taken the best of his health. Simon isn’t sick now but he is in the healing process. In one of the photos, it was evident that he has a very good shape.

Since he is a prominent figure in the industry, everyone wants him to do well. He has gifted the audiences with some of the best shows and this injury was indeed a big change for the icon as well. 

After the second bike accident, he had a smaller cast because the first one led to a six-hour-long surgery.

So, Simon is perfectly fine and healthy now and looking forward to returning back to his daily routines. We hope that he attains good health and lifestyle in no time.
