Friends and family of music mogul, Simon Cowell have revealed that he has become so in demand that his feet “barely touch the ground.” They are concerned that he is heading for a major burnout.

Cowell is currently working on the X Factor 2007, American Idol and has a large hand in the development of ITV’s Grease Is The Word and Britain’s Got Talent.

One friend told The Daily Star: “Everyone knows Simon’s incredibly talented and that he’s got to make the most of those talents.

“But he just seems to be doing so much that you do worry he could easily burn out. Maybe he just needs to ease off a bit.

“There’s some real worry that he’s pushing himself too hard.”
