L.A. Reid will not be returning to The X Factor for the show’s upcoming third season. “I have the utmost respect for Simon Cowell,” the 56-year-old judge said. “He is the very best, and I have had the opportunity to learn so much from him. Working with him on X Factor has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m honored to have sat on the panel with such incredible talent.”
“Of course I will miss the show; In my opinion Simon attracts the best talent,” L.A. added. “But I’m looking forward to getting back to my core business and the responsibility of running Epic Records.”
Wish him all the best.
