Simon Cowell is a household name in the music industry, thanks to his talent shows like *The X Factor* and *Got Talent*, which helped launch stars like One Direction and Kelly Clarkson. Starting as a music producer in the ’80s, Simon became widely known as a judge on *Pop Idol* in 2001. Despite his success, he’s faced personal challenges, including two accidents that led to surgery, and has warned others about the dangers of electric bikes.
