Big fear for Simon Cowell. The producer and America's Got Talent juror was hospitalized after a bicycle accident on Saturday at his home in California. It was while testing his new acquisition, an electric mountain bike, that Simon Cowell had a nasty fall and broke his back.

According to the Today.com site, the producer “would be fine”, but still underwent several operations, including the extraction of a piece of metal in the back.

"Read the user manual"

Recovering from this intervention, Simon Cowell gave some advice on Twitter. “If you buy an electric mountain bike, read the owner's manual before you get on it for the first time,” he wrote.

Some good advice ...
If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time.
I have broken part of my back.
Thank you to everyone for your kind messages.
