The X Factor boss and music mogul, 63, is famously reserved but in an exclusive chat with TheMirror.com he revealed that he's devastated his parents didn't get to see his biggest dream come true. The dad-of-one admits his parents would have been "so proud" that his America's Got Talent acts are taking over Las Vegas with a sellout residency at the Luxor Resort. Sadly neither his mum Julie or dad Eric are here to witness Simon's success in the glittering Vegas he dreamed of as a child growing up in Hertfordshire in the 1960s. "I just wish my mom and dad were still here to see that," he said. "They would've been so proud because I was talking to them when I was a kid about things I'd do in Vegas.
