Simon Cowell (60) is lying in his front yard in the hospital after an accident. The "America's Got Talent" jury colleague of Heidi Klum (47, "Making the Cut") wanted to test a new e-bike, according to the US magazine "People", when he fell miserably and broke his back.
He was operated on in the evening
On Saturday (August 8), a spokesman for the British star confirmed the "little accident" to the magazine and said that Cowell had "broken his back" and that he would be "operated on this evening". The accident occurred in the afternoon in the presence of his family on his property in Malibu, California. "He is fine, he is being watched and is in the best possible hands," the statement continued.
