According to reports, renowned guitarist Jake E Lee was the victim of a surprise attack while he was out walking his dog in Las Vegas. The incident, which has been described as "random", has sparked an investigation by local authorities.
Lee, who is 67 years old, is best known for his time as the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne in the 1980s. He was enjoying a peaceful walk in Las Vegas on Thursday when he was suddenly targeted by the assailant. Thankfully, Lee is currently recovering in intensive care and is expected to make a full recovery.
In response to the news, Ozzy Osbourne, who worked closely with Lee on his 1983 album Bark At The Moon, shared his well wishes. He expressed shock and sadness at the senseless act of gun violence and sent his thoughts to Lee and his daughter Jade. Lee's manager, Tim Heyne, also provided an update on his condition, stating that he is responsive and expected to fully recover.
A representative for Lee confirmed the incident, adding that he is currently being treated at a hospital in Las Vegas. The shooting, which is believed to be random, occurred while Lee was taking his dog for a walk in the early hours of the morning. As it is now a police investigation, the representative stated that no further comments or updates will be given at this time in order to respect Lee and his family's privacy.
In a separate statement, local police confirmed the shooting and noted that the victim was quickly transported to the hospital. The incident is still under investigation and no arrests have been made yet.
Lee has had a successful career in the rock music scene, playing for several bands in the 1980s and beyond. He rose to fame as Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist from 1982 to 1987 before being replaced by Zakk Wylde. He later went on to form the band Badlands. In 2014, he was approached by Sharon Osbourne for a reunion with Ozzy, but he declined unless he was given credit for his songwriting contributions to Bark At The Moon.
In an interview, Lee revealed that Sharon had managed to track down his phone number and asked him to rejoin the band. He agreed on the condition that he finally receive credit for his work on the hit song. Despite their past differences, Lee expressed a desire to move forward and make things right.
