Bret Michaels talks about Jake E. Lee

Here is what he wrote:

“To our friend Jake E. Lee – our thoughts, prayers and concerns go out to you, my friend, after hearing the news of you being shot in Las Vegas today. We are all pulling for you & hoping that you will have a speedy & incredible recovery.”

Meanwhile, Ozzy Osbourne stated that he was shocked to hear about his former guitarist Jake E. Lee being shot multiple times in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning October 15th.

As per TMZ, the shooting took place around 2:40 a.m. while Lee was walking his dog. He had been hospitalized and is currently fully conscious while being treated in an intensive care unit inside the city.

SiriusXM radio personality Eddie Trunk previouslyrevealed 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.”

Eddie further stated that he got the information about Jake’s condition directly from the musician’s manager.

In a statement to TMZ, Ozzy said: “It’s been 37 years since I’ve seen Jake E. Lee, but that still doesn’t take away from the shock of hearing what happened to him today. It’s just another senseless act of gun violence. I send my thoughts to him and his beautiful daughter, Jade. I just hope he’ll be OK.”

Las Vegas authorities believe the shooting was completely random. As the incident is under police investigation, no further comments will be forthcoming. Lee and his family appreciate respecting their privacy at this time.

Lee, who was tapped by Ozzy Osbourne to replace the late Randy Rhoads in the singer’s solo band, played on two Ozzy records: 1983’s “Bark At The Moon” and 1986’s “The Ultimate Sin”.
