Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist Jake E. Lee was shot “multiple times” while walking his dog in Las Vegas early Tuesday, TheWrap has learned.

Representatives for the popular rock musician, also known for his appearances in Red Dragon Cartel and Badlands, said he was hospitalized and in stable condition after what police said was a “completely random” act of violence.

“As management confirmed, legendary rock guitarist Jake E. Lee was shot multiple times in a street shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada this morning,” the statement said. “Lee is fully conscious and doing well in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Las Vegas. He is expected to make a full recovery.”

“Las Vegas authorities believe the shooting was completely random and occurred while Lee was walking his dog in the early morning hours,” the statement continued. “As the incident is currently under police investigation, no further comment will be made. Lee and his family appreciate respecting their privacy during this time.”

The guitarist is best known for playing for Ozzy Osbourne in the 1980s before forming Badlands with former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen and Eric Singer. He later founded Red Dragon Cartel in 2013, with whom he released two studio albums in 2014 and 2018.

About forming Red Dragon Cartel after a lengthy break from the industry, Lee said in an interview in 2018 that he retired from making music professionally because “it was an ugly business.”

“But after about 10 years, I started to get a little itchy. I've been jamming with bands here in Las Vegas off and on and eventually Kevin Churko, the producer, initially contacted me because he does Ozzy's albums… He lives in Las Vegas too and knows what that would be for. “I want to come back and playing with Ozzy,” he explained.

This reunion never happened due to an alleged dispute over writing credits, but he soon returned to make his own music.

TheWrap is reaching out to Lee for further comment on Tuesday's shooting.
