Management has confirmed that legendary rock guitarist Jake E. Lee (OZZY OSBOURNE, BADLANDS, RED DRAGON CARTEL) was shot multiple times early this morning (Tuesday, October 15) during a street shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lee is fully conscious and in stable condition in the intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital, with doctors expecting a full recovery.
Las Vegas authorities believe the shooting was entirely random, occurring while Lee was walking his dog in the early hours of the morning. As the incident is still under police investigation, no further comments will be made at this time. Lee and his family kindly request privacy during this period.
SiriusXM radio host Eddie Trunk shared in a social media post that Jake was “hit three times — in the chest, arm, and foot. Bullets missed all major organs except lung. But he is doing well and expected to make a full recovery”.
