Simon Cowell was visibly moved to tears while appearing on the Diary of a CEO podcast with Dragons Den star Steven Bartlett.
The music and TV icon had to pause the interview as he recounted the heart-wrenching moment he learned of his father's passing. The Britain's Got Talent judge opened up about the emotional turmoil he faced while celebrating his early career triumphs, only to receive the devastating news. Simon shared: "I think someone told my mum, 'Don't tell Simon' [while he was celebrating].
I phoned back and she told me and I thought, 'Oh my god, I can't believe it'. Because I genuinely, at that point in my life, I just believed my parents are gonna live forever. It was bad.
It was tough." Despite the pain, Simon spoke about his faith and how he continues to feel his parents' presence: "However, I do believe in God and I do believe, because the hardest thing when you lose your parents is you can't even think about them afterwards because it's too difficult. “Everything is.
Then after a while, when I have a question in my mind, I do talk to them in my mind, like 'What would you do? ' And I know what they would say. I really do still believe they're with me, but that was a very bittersweet moment." Reflecting on his success and its cost, Simon confessed the depth of his loss: "I would have swapped everything [my success] to have kept my dad around.
All the things he taught me over the years... it was the longest trip home from America, that flight. It was bad.
He was very wise and he did give me a good steer." "He only lost his temper with me once. He never hit me, nothing like that, but he raised his voice once at me and that was enough. When he was angry at you, you knew it.
