Former Ozzy Osbourne Guitarist Jake E. Lee “Doing Surprisingly Well” After Las Vegas Shooting
Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee is currently recovering and said he is “doing surprisingly well” after being shot three times on early Tuesday (October 15th) near his home in Las Vegas.
As previously reported, Lee was involved in a random street shooting about 10 miles from the Las Vegas Strip while the guitarist was in his driveway about to walk his dog. Lee was placed in a nearby hospital’s intensive care unit and is “expected to fully recover” per a statement from his representative.
The day after the shooting, Wednesday (October 16th), fellow guitarist and Las Vegas resident DJ Ashba (formerly of Guns N’ Roses) posted a text message exchange he had with Lee on his Instagram stories [via Blabbermouth].
In the exchange, Ashba asked if Jake was Ok, to which he replied: “Doing surprisingly well. I am one lucky mother f**ker. Just make sure your bday bash is wheelchair accessible!
