On Saturday afternoon, Simon Cowell fell off of his new electric bike and broke his back in several places. He was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a 5-hour surgery to repair his broken spine. Less than 48 hours after all of that happened, Terri Seymour revealed on Extra yesterday that he has already taken his first steps. Not that many, but it is a start. After a back injury as bad as his, that is like doing a marathon.
Even though Cowell went through all of this, he is working from his hospital bed. Kelly Clarkson might be sitting in his seat on America’s Got Talent tonight and tomorrow night, but he will be there in spirit and on his iPad.
It is just one of the few things his girlfriend Lauren Silverman has brought him. Seymour said, “He’s calling her all the time, asking her for this and that…Poor Lauren has been amazing. She’s running backwards and forwards from the hospital all the time.”
When it comes to time, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him that will involve a lot of physical therapy. Does that mean he won’t be back on AGT this season? Seymour said when it comes to her ex-lover, “never rule anything out.”
