Simon Cowell calls himself 'lucky' for breaking back as he 'couldn't catch Covid'

Simon Cowell says it was “lucky” he fell off his electric bike and broke his back as it prevented him getting coronavirus. He was left in agony and could have been paralysed by the accident at his LA home in August 2020.

Speaking to promote America’s Got Talent, the music mogul, 61, said the injury could have been much more debilitating. “I was a millimetre away from just cutting my back in half,” Simon said. “So I consider myself lucky. “Weirdly, it was a good thing that it happened.

I didn’t get Covid because I wasn’t able to travel and I probably would’ve done my fair share last year.” This year’s Britain’s Got Talent has been cancelled and is set to return in 2022.
