Simon Cowell will be absent from the filming of 'America’s Got Talent' for several weeks as he prepares for a medical procedure related to ongoing back issues. The show is arranging for guest judges to take his place during this time. According to TMZ, the procedure is routine and connected to Cowell's long-standing back problems, not indicative of a new or serious health concern. Cowell has faced back issues since an electric bike accident in 2020, which he described as nearly catastrophic. He has also sustained injuries from another e-bike incident in 2022, which resulted in a broken arm. Cowell gained fame as a judge on 'Pop Idol' in 2001 and later on 'American Idol,' and has since created several successful television franchises.
