Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee was shot multiple times in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning but is expected to make a fully recovery, according to his rep. Lee, who is also known for his work with the bands Badlands and his current outfit Red Dragon Cartel, is said to be fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital, the rep said. Las Vegas law authorities say they believe believe the shooting was completely random and occurred while Lee took his dog out for a walk. Raised in San Diego, Lee worked the Los Angeles metal scene in the early 1980s and played with an early incarnation of Ratt and the band Rough Cutt before joining forces with Osbourne in 1983; ironically, he beat out his friend and former roommate George Lynch, later of Dokken, for the job.
