American Idol is in its 15th and final season on Fox.
It made the British Cowell a household name in the U.S. and launched the stateside career of fellow Brit Lythgoe, who went on to create and star in So You Think You Can Dance.
Cowell exited Idol in 2010 moving on to produce and appear in reality competitions The X Factor and America's Got Talent.

The fact that he was seen with his former Idol stars could indicate that he, along with Jackson who spent 12 seasons as a judge on the show before leaving in 2014, will indeed be appearing one last time before the singing contest finally wraps.
Cowell certainly is keen to make a farewell appearance.
'I think just because I started on the show I should do something,' he told E! this week.
