Ozzy Osbourne Gets Backlash After Bandmate Shooting

Some fans are not convinced by the support shown by Ozzy Osbourne for Jake E. Lee after the shooting incident.

Ozzy Osbourne faces backlash

“How about paying and crediting him for ‘Bark At The Moon’…, etc? That would be very needed ‘support’ too..,” Eddie Trunk wrote in a tweet, reposting Ultimate Classic Rock’s news titled ‘Ozzy Osbourne Offers Support to Jake E. Lee Following Shooting.’

The commenters agreed with Trunk as one person said, “‘Bark at the Moon’ sold collectively around 3.5 million copies, give him 0.25 per unit sold, that’s about 875,000.00 dollars, make it a cool million for retro back pay and emotional distress.”

“It’s amazing that Jake E. Lee and others walk around not getting paid for their work with the Ozzy camp. It’s criminal,” another individual added.

One other fan recalled Ozzy’s treatment towards Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake, “Sharon didn’t want to pay Kerslake and Daisley either. What is her problem with paying the rightful musicians on her husband’s albums?”

Las Vegas Review-Journal had reported that Lee was in his driveway to walk his dog at about 2:40 a.m. when he was shot in the forearm; in the back, with the bullet breaking a rib; and in the foot. None of the shots hit a vital organ. A neighbor heard the shots, hid his kids, grabbed a gun and called 911. Lee’s dog was unharmed.

Lee’s management stated that police think the shooting “was completely random and occurred while Lee took his dog out for a walk in the early morning hours.” Lee is “fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital,” his management said. “He is expected to fully recover.”
