The accident comes just days before Cowell is scheduled to shoot America’s Got Talent‘s first live show.
Simon Cowell was hospitalized Saturday after breaking his back in an accident at his Malibu home.
Cowell applauded the changes, contending that the Judge Cuts killed the momentum built by the high-energy Auditions.
The America’s Got Talent judge and executive producer was reportedly testing his new electric bike in the courtyard of his home when the mishap occurred.
