The music industry mogul, taking to his social media accounts early on Monday 10th August 2020, aside from giving advise on bikes, also thanked the medical staff at the Los Angeles facility. He thanked the staff of where he is being treated for his bike accident, after falling off a new bicycle he bought on Saturday.
Taking to his official Twitter handle on Monday, he tweeted saying:
“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,”
Simon Cowell continued:
“And a massive thank you to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. Stay safe everyone.”
Simon Cowell had the accident while testing the bike at his home in Malibu, California. He was later hospitalized and underwent a five-hour surgery on his back.
“Simon had a fall from his bike on Saturday afternoon whilst testing his new electric bike in the courtyard at his house in Malibu with his family,” his management had said after the accident.
“He hurt his back and was taken to the hospital. He’s doing fine, he’s under observation and is in the best possible hands.”
