In a rare and deeply emotional moment, Simon Cowell—known for his famously stoic and tough persona—left audiences speechless as he took to the America’s Got Talent 2025 stage to perform a surprise tribute to his son, Eric. The performance marked the very first time the media mogul has ever sung publicly, and fans are calling it one of the most touching moments in the show’s history.
As the season premiere kicked off, viewers were stunned when Simon emerged from behind the judges’ panel and stepped into the spotlight.

The gentle melody, paired with Simon’s raw and vulnerable delivery, created an atmosphere that was both intimate and deeply moving.

Midway through the performance, Eric was seen standing at the side of the stage, eyes filled with emotion as he watched his father sing. In a heart-melting moment, Simon reached out his hand, and Eric joined him on stage. The two shared a quiet, tearful embrace as the final chords of the song played out. Cameras panned to the audience, revealing many spectators wiping away tears, including longtime host Terry Crews and even fellow judge Heidi Klum.
According to behind-the-scenes whispers, Simon had planned the tribute in secret for months, working with vocal coaches and producers to perfect the delivery. A source close to the production said, “Simon wanted to do something he’s never done before to show Eric how much he means to him. This was his way of stepping out of his comfort zone, just like the contestants do.”
Social media exploded moments after the broadcast, with hashtags like #SimonAndEric and #FatherSonMoment trending worldwide. Fans praised Simon for showing a completely different side of himself and called the performance “the most unexpected and beautiful moment of the entire AGT franchise.”
