ake E. Lee, former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist, expected to ‘fully recover’ after being shot ‘multiple times’ Posted By: Mackenzie Gray On Oct 15, 2024
SHARE ON:
Rock guitarist Jake E. Lee, who’s played with heavy metal heavyweight Ozzy Osbourne, was hospitalized early Tuesday morning after he was shot “multiple times” in Las Vegas, a representative for the musician told CNN in a statement.
“Lee is fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital. He is expected to fully recover,” the representative said.
The shooting occurred while Lee was outside walking his dog and is believed to be “completely random.”
According to a statement from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, “officers responded to a shooting incident in the 11000 block of Alora Street” around 2:42 a.m. on Tuesday.
“Officers arrived and located a male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The male was transported to the hospital,” the statement read.
The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made at this time, police said.
Lee, 67, is a veteran rock guitarist, having spent time playing with Osbourne in the 1980s.
Lee later founded the heavy metal group Badlands with former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen and Eric Singer. He formed his own band Red Dragon Cartel in 2013.
Did Jane’s Addiction Just Implode Posted By: Luke Mason On Sep 16, 2024

Jane’s Addiction had a rough weekend. The band was onstage in Boston when frontman Perry Farrell seemed to have some sort of beef with guitarist Dave Navarro. The eccentric singer can be seen shoving Navarro and then being held back by security and bandmates.
Rumors are circulating as to what the melee was about but the most prominent seems to be an alcohol infused battle over volume onstage. It’s been alleged that Farrell was upset the sound of drums, bass, and most notably, guitar. It should also be noted that many fans have pointed out Farrell’s behavior at recent shows, saying he has shown signs of deep intoxication. Jane’s Addiction cancelled their show scheduled for Sunday in Connecticut and they are still scheduled to play Toronto on Wednesday.
However, Dave Navarro drop a hint that things could be over with an interesting post on instagram.
Ozzy Osbourne Says His Solo Rock Hall Induction ‘Feels Big’ Posted By: Kaylee Harper On Apr 21, 2024
SHARE ON:
All is sweetness and light between Ozzy Osbourne and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the Prince of Darkness prepares for his second induction — this time as a solo artist.
Osbourne, you may remember, tried to get Black Sabbath taken off the 1999 nominations list, calling the nod “meaningless.” But he happily went in with the band in 2006, and he tells Billboard via email that to become one of the Rock Hall’s multiple inductees “feels big. I’m more than honored.”
The honor comes after his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne called out the Rock Hall last year for not considering Ozzy as a solo artist even though he’s been eligible since 2006. Osbourne began that career after leaving Black Sabbath acrimoniously in 1979 and scoring eight consecutive multi-platinum albums starting with Blizzard of Ozz in 1980. On his own he’s also released iconic songs such as “Crazy Train,” “Flying High Again,” “Bark at the Moon,” “Shot in the Dark” and “No More Tears.”
“I definitely wouldn’t say I was confident” about solo success, says Osbourne, adding that the 2021 induction of Randy Rhoads, his late songwriting partner, in the musical excellence category “made me feel we could be on to something. With every new music venture there’s always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.”
Comparing this induction to Sabbath’s “feels different,” Osbourne says, “because my solo career, it’s been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole.” And after finishing fourth in the fan vote with more than 480,000 votes “feels more special, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way.”
The big question, of course, is whether Osbourne will perform at the induction ceremony on Oct. 19 in Cleveland. Though he’s effectively retired from touring due to a variety of health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, Osbourne continues to speak about performing again in some capacity. Could it be a two- or three-song set for the Rock Hall? “You never know,” he says, only promising that his outfit that night “will most certainly be black.”
Osbourne has remained prolific as a recording artist, meanwhile, releasing two albums so far this decade — Ordinary Man in 2020, Patient Number 9 in 2022 — and is intending to do more. “I’m not putting a timetable on it,” Osbourne says, “but I plan to start working on a new album sometime in the near future.”
