After five hours of emergency surgery, Simon Cowell has a metal rod in his back after falling off an electric bicycle
Cowell was testing out the bike with his family in Malibu when he fell on Saturday.
Variety reports the 60-year-old music mogul and "America's Got Talent" judge had the surgery Sunday and is sedated. The source says while his injuries are bad Cowell was told he was lucky. The long time reality TV star is not set to appear on tomorrow and Wednesday's live episodes.
