Ozzy Osbourne’s former guitarist shot multiple times while walking his dog

Ozzy Osbourne's former guitarist has been shot multiple times as he walked his dog in Las Vegas.

Jake E Lee, who helped write the 1983 album Bark At The Moon, is conscious and "is expected to fully recover".

Tim Heyne, manager for Lee's rock band Red Dragon Cartel, told The Associated Press: "By the grace of God, no major organs were hit, he's fully responsive, and expected to make a full recovery."

A spokesperson for the musician said: "As the incident is under police investigation, no further comments will be forthcoming."

Las Vegas police said the shooting happened at around 2.40am on Tuesday - in a neighbourhood around 10 miles from the Strip.

No arrests have been made, and the police department said its investigation was ongoing.

Lee, 67, played guitar in several bands in the glam metal scene of Los Angeles' Sunset Strip in the 1980s, including an early version of Ratt.

He played for Ozzy Osbourne's band from 1982 to 1987 and was later involved with Badlands.
