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.”
