š¤ÆĀ Legendary guitarist Jake E. Lee, formerly of Ozzy Osbourneās band, has provided fans with a detailed and remarkable update regarding the shooting incident he suffered last month while walking his dog. Lee, who was shot multiple times by thieves, revealed that he is expected to make a full recovery and even offered surprising insight into the physical sensation of being shot.
š Protecting Coco: The Split-Second Decision
Lee recently took to social media to provide an update, describing the act as therapeutic. He revealed a shocking detail about the initial moments of the attack: the gunman was targeting his pet.
“We were about 50ft apart when I heard the shots. I quickly realized he wasn’t aiming at me. He was aiming at my dog! I threw my end of the leash at Coco and yelled to go home. He did. He’s a good boy.”
This quick, selfless act saved his dog, Coco, who safely ran home.
š„ The Bullet That Felt Like a Burn
Lee then described the moment he was hit for the first time. The bullet struck his left forearm, entering about an inch below the elbow on the underside and exiting topside. His description of the injury was unexpectedly calm:
“It felt like a burn. Not particularly painful, just like a quick burning sensation. I thought it must have been a graze.”
Crucially, the guitarist confirmed the bullet missed any major structures vital to his career. “Fortunately, it missed any bones, and my elbow joint, and has healed remarkably quickly,” he confirmed, adding, “All the fingers still move well,” which is excellent news for his playing career.
recuperating and Moving Forward
While Ozzy Osbourne had previously expressed concern, Lee appears to be making excellent progress toward a full recovery. By documenting the incident publicly, Lee hopes to put the traumatic event behind him. His frank, detail-oriented updates offer a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary experience, reassuring fans that his health and guitar-playing abilities are intact.
