Simon Cowell faced two serious bike accidents that reshaped his life. In 2020, he broke his back in a fall from an e-bike in Malibu, followed by a crash in London in 2022, which led to a concussion and a broken arm. Reflecting on these incidents on the *Today Show*, Simon acknowledged, “It was painful… I was so unfit before the accident.” Despite the challenges, he remains passionate about biking.

The accidents led to a healthier lifestyle, inspired by his fiancée Lauren Silverman and their 9-year-old son, Eric. Simon considered therapy during his recovery, struggling with the fear of not being able to play with Eric again. Eric’s playful nickname, “Iron Man,” helped Simon find humor in the ordeal. Now, he embraces his progress and jokes about his experiences on *AGT*.
