Dreaded judge Simon Cowel to ‘half retire’

According to The Mirror Simon will focus a little less on work. And working until 3 a.m. is a thing of the past.

The underlying reason for the decision is that Simon injured his back in a bicycle accident in 2020. In combination with the pandemic that dominated the world for years, he has come to realize that he wants to organize his time differently. “He knows he’s not getting any younger,” a source said.

“Someone like Simon finds it hard to let go of his job,” the source continues. “But this is a kind of half pension for him. He will no longer work every day and spends his free time better.”
