Heidi Klum happily shares that guy America’s Got Talent Judge Simon Cowell is recovering quickly after his back broke from an electric bicycle accident on Saturday afternoon (August 8).
The 60-year-old TV personality underwent a five-hour operation and had inserted a metal stick the same evening after testing his new electric bike at his home in Malibu, California.
In an interview with Folk today (August 12) the supermodel shared the latest update on Cowell’s recovery. “We were told he was already getting out of bed, which is just unbelievable. When we woke up on Sunday morning to the news, do you think, ‘Oh my go, will he ever run again?’,” She said.
Kelly Clarkson announced on Monday (August 10) that she is temporarily filling in for her ex American idol pal for Tuesday and Wednesday the telecasts. The singer even featured Cowell Twitter last night (August 11), “Hurry not back, I’m getting really comfortable in your chair. I’m looking pretty good in it! I’m just kidding, get well.” But according to Klum, who was also absent to tap a few AGT episodes earlier this summer because she felt sick, he might return sooner than anyone expected.
“Who knows maybe next week he will be sitting there with us again, at the speed he is going!” she told Folk. “I hope he does. I was, ‘What else happens?’ “Every morning you wake up to another crazy news and I hope this is it now. Can we just turn the page and make life better? We’re all hoping for that.”
The executive Syco Entertainment record wrote on Twitter about his broken back a day after the accident along with some hard advice for users of electric trail bikes, but has not personally shared any health updates since. However, he applauded Clarkson for her work that went on for him. “Thank you @kellyclarkson. Miss you all. What a great show. #AGT,” he tweeted next Tuesday episode.
It remains unclear whether Cowell will participate in the rest of AGT ‘s season 15 production.
