The Sun told how in 2020 he was almost left paralysed and was left needing surgery after hurting his back in a shocking accident.
He crashed off his electric bike and broke his back in three places before undergoing six hours of surgery.
He missed injuring his spinal cord by a centimetre.
A source said at the time: “He could have been looking at a life in a wheelchair.”
Simon Cowell fell and broke his back after trying out a powerful new electric bike — and accidentally pulling a wheelie.
His son Eric, then aged six, and his partner Lauren Silverman’s teenage lad Adam watched in horror as Simon fell backwards and smashed down onto a concrete floor at his Los Angeles home.
