Simon Cowell experienced two serious bicycle accidents within two years—an e-bike crash in Malibu in 2020 and another accident in London in 2022—which caused major injuries, including a broken back, concussion, and broken arm. These incidents forced him to reassess his health and lifestyle.
During recovery, Cowell realized he had not been in good shape and described the experience as a life-changing wake-up call. Motivated by his son Eric and fiancée Lauren Silverman, he made positive lifestyle changes. Despite the injuries and surgery involving metal rods in his back, Cowell remains optimistic, keeps his sense of humor, and continues to ride his bike, inspired by his son calling him “Iron Man.”
