Simon Cowell Back Surgery Update | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Simon Cowell just had successful back surgery and is taking a break from America’s Got Talent to heal — Howie Mandel gave the update, saying Simon’s doing great and he’s planning a visit in a day or two. It was a planned procedure, not an emergency, following his serious injury from an electric bike accident years ago. While Simon’s out, Kenan Thompson’s already filling in and Heidi Klum’s returning for upcoming shows to keep the energy high. Mandel hopes Simon can come back before the season ends and admits this year’s talent pool is fiercer than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
