Simon Cowell Suffers Broken Arm After Second E-bike Crash, Hospitalized

The British-born music executive broke his back three times while riding the $20,000 bike outside his Malibu mansion in August. He had a six-hour surgery to repair his spine, during which doctors inserted a metal rod into his back.

Simon Cowell “broke his arm,” though he was not seriously injured after another accident on his electric motorbike last week, SurgeZirc US has learned.

According to a source, the 62-year-old “America’s Got Talent” judge was riding his e-bike when he “slipped off” and fell, but he is “fine.”

“He’s doing well and is healing at home,” a second source added.

According to The Sun, Cowell was “lucky to be alive” after being thrown off his bike after driving 20 mph and not wearing a helmet.

According to reports, the incident occurred last Thursday near his home in West London.

“He was pedalling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch,” an insider told The Sun on Monday night.

“He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.”

The source said Cowell’s decision to not wear a helmet was “stupid” and said the choice caused him to bleed all over his face like “something from Phantom of the Opera.”
