In the wake of Simon Cowell needing intensive back-surgery after breaking his back in a biking accident, Kelly Clarkson has stepped up to fill his shoes as the fourth judge on America’s Got Talent.
It was reported that Simon Cowell broke his back in various places on Saturday, after an electric bike accident at his Malibu home. Cowell was rushed to the hospital where he underwent a 6-hour long surgery, as a metal rod was placed in his back.
He then took to Twitter making light of the situation and thanking fans for showing him support 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.”
