Entinen Ozzy Osbournen kitaristi Jake E. Lee sai surmattuna pelottavan kohtalon, mutta onko hänestä sittenkin vielä uuden kiertueen pääsolistiksi? Lue lisää!
Entinen Ozzy Osbournen kitaristi Jake E. Lee joutui pelottavaan välikohtaukseen, kun hänet ammuttiin useita kertoja Las Vegasissa koiraansa kävelyttäessään. Tapahtuma sattui aikaisin tiistaiaamuna noin 10 mailia Las Vegasin Stripin eteläpuolella. Lee, joka on tunnettu sähkökitarataidoistaan ja energisestä esityksestään Osbournen soolobändissä vuosina 1982-1987, on nyt tehohoidossa. Onneksi lääkärit arvioivat hänen toipuvan täysin, mikä tuo toivoa hänen faneilleen ja musiikkimaailmalle.
Ozzy Osbourne itse on ollut järkyttynyt Lee'n kohtalosta ja on tunnustanut olevansa tyytyväinen, että hänen entinen kitaristinsa selvisi hengissä. ”Tämä on järjetön teko”, Osbourne kommentoi. Hänestä on tärkeää, että väkivallasta puhutaan avoimesti, jotta vastaavilta tragedioilta voitaisiin välttyä tulevaisuudessa. Samalla kun fanit toivovat Lee'n pikaista paranemista, monet muistavat hänen aikaisempia saavutuksiaan – kuten uran Ozzy Osbournen kanssa, johon kuului ylistetty levy "Bark at the Moon".
Tapaus herättää myös keskustelua aseväkivallasta, joka on ongelma monissa osissa Yhdysvaltoja, ja monien ihmisten huolena on turvallisuus. Lee'n tapaus tuo esille, kuinka uudelleen ja uudelleen musiikin tähdet ja julkisuuden henkilöt joutuvat väkivallan uhreiksi. Kyseessä on pelottava muistutus, että julkkisstatus ei takaa turvattomuutta. Samalla se kysyy, kuinka voimme tehdä maailmasta paremman paikan.
Aivan kuin Lee'n tilanne olisi ohje kestävää elämää, voisimme ottaa oppia hänen väkivaltaisen kohtalon jälkeen. Musiikki ja taide yhdistävät meitä, ja saavat meidät tuntemaan, että me kaikki jaamme saman inhimillisyyden. Onneksi Jake E. Lee on eloonjääjä, ja voimme vain toivoa, että hän palaisi pian lavalle – kenties suuremmalla energialla kuin koskaan ennen. Ja hei, ehkä hänen koiransa voisi seuraavalla kiertueella saada myös oman lavan – niin huomaamattomasi se on se yksi kitaratähti, joka tietää miten hassua on, että pyöräilin niiden näkökenttään!
