Simon Cowell hurts back, hospitalized after electric bike crash: report

Simon Cowell abruptly ended an 'America's Got Talent' contestant's performance, calling his choice of music a 'safe wedding song.' Undeterred, singer Lamont Landers went backstage and learned an entirely new song to perform for the judges.

TV producer and personality Simon Cowell broke his back while riding an electric bicycle in California on Saturday and was expected to undergo surgery, a spokesperson for the “America’s Got Talent” host said, according to a report.

The British-born Cowell, 60, was scheduled to resume shooting episodes of “America’s Got Talent” on Tuesday after a hiatus due to the coronavirus, according to People.

Along with serving as a judge, Cowell also created the show.
