Ozzy Osbourne's and Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde is recovering in hospital following surgery to remove a blood clot.

Wylde was taken to hospital on August 19th following a concert in Montana and was due to return to the hospital this weekend.

No further details have emerged though Wylde did post a picture of himself from his hospital bed on his Twitter page.

Wylde - real name Jeffrey Phillip Weilandt - also formed Pride and Glory with Osbourne from 1991 to 1994.
