Simon Cowell Fears Outliving His Son

Simon Cowell has admitted that he fears outliving his son, Eric.

The X Factor judge made the comments during an interview with The Mirror.

Cowell, 57, became a father for the first time in 2014 and has often spoke about how his son has changed his perspective on life.

Speaking to The Mirror, he explained: "Knowing you will outlive your own child is everyone's worst nightmare and I am more aware than ever that it can happen to anyone.

"Now that I am a father I understand on a much deeper level how devastating it would be to hear the news that your child was unwell."

He also announced that half of the profits made from this year's X Factor winner's single will go to charity.

One charity to benefit from this gesture is Together for Short Lives, which is for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions. Cowell has been a patron for the charity and has been supporting its work for seven years.

Cowell and his partner, 39-year-old Lauren Silverman, welcomed their first child together – a son named Eric – in February 2014.
