Jake E. Lee, a former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, was shot multiple times Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Officers responded to a street shooting around 2:45 a.m. when Lee, 67, was found with gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a hospital and admitted to its intensive care unit.
The rocker is expected to fully recover, according to his management.
The incident is under investigation and no arrests have been made, police said.
Lee’s management said the musician was walking his dog when he was shot and the attack appeared to be “completely random.”
Lee played with Ozzy Osbourne in the 1980s, joining the metal singer after the death of Randy Rhodes. He wrote several songs on the albums “Bark at the Moon” and “The Ultimate Sin” before leaving the band.
