Ozzy Osbourne’s former guitarist Jake E. Lee has reportedly been ‘shot multiple times’ while walking his dog.
Jake’s representative has said he was hit “at random ” while in Las Vegas. He is now said to be receiving treatment in intensive care.
The star was walking his dog for a walk early in the morning when the ‘shooting’ occurred. According to reports, the incident is now under police investigation. “Lee is fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital,” his representative told Dailymail.com.
The musician is known as Ozzy’s lead guitarist. He worked with the rock icon for five years before moving on to several other bands.
Jake worked with Ozzy from 1982 to 1987, having been drafted in as a replacement for guitarist Randy Rhodes, who tragically died in a plane crash. He then became a member of Badlands before forming the Red Dragon Cartel in 2013, reports the Mirror.
Following the horror reports, fans rushed to share their well-wishes with Jake. One simply asked, “What has happened to our country?”
