Guitarist Jake E. Lee has posted on update, on social media, regarding his health.
On the Red Dragon Cartel Facebook page he wrote the following message:
“Checking. Is this on? Been awhile since I posted here.
Let’s see: I deeply appreciate all the concern and well wishes. Makes everything going on a little better.
To clarify, I was shot three times. I was on my way back home from walking my dog Coco (I didn’t name him so don’t!). Don’t want to go into details now, I’m tired, but I feel relatively very lucky. The police found 15 shell casings at the scene which means he emptied his clip on me. I could only dodge so many, so one bullet went through my forearm, one through my foot, and one in the back which broke a rib and damaged a lung. Priority now is to keep draining my lung till it’s done crying. Then we can pull that tube out and concentrate on the more minor injuries.
And by the way, Coco’s fine and appreciates your inquiries!”
As previously reported, Lee, was shot multiple times, early morning in Las Vegas, while reportedly walking his dog.

OMG, was he lucky. I hope they catch the SOB who did this, ASAP. Someone that dangerous, need to be locked up, with no plea bargains.
Hopefully the forearm injury won’t affect his playing. Jake was always a good interview and seems like an honest good down to earth guy. I hope he has a very speedy FULL recovery. Thanks for all the wonderful music Jake.
So glad that Jake and Coco are ok and doing fine! Now let’s catch the bastard responsible for this irresponsible act!
I forgot to write, my first pup was also named Coco, Coco Chanel (I did not name her, I was a child).
