Jack Osbourne Blasts Roger Waters Over Harsh Ozzy Remarks
The music world has been buzzing with tension after Roger Waters, the co-founder of Pink Floyd, made some very blunt comments about the late Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. In a recent interview, Waters was asked about Ozzy’s legacy, and instead of offering the kind of respectful tribute that most people have been giving since Ozzy’s passing in July, he dismissed it altogether. He said he never cared about Black Sabbath, never liked their music, and frankly, he “couldn’t give a fuck” about Ozzy or what he did. He even mocked the infamous bat-biting incident, confusing it with chickens, and made it clear he had zero interest in the heavy metal pioneers.
Now, that didn’t sit well with Ozzy’s family—especially his son, Jack Osbourne. Jack quickly took to Instagram with a fiery response directed straight at Waters. He called him “pathetic and out of touch,” accusing him of saying shocking things in the press just to get attention. Jack didn’t hold back, even sharing that his father had always thought Waters was, in his words, a “cunt,” and thanked him for proving it true. It was raw, emotional, and very much in defense of his dad’s legacy.

The timing of Waters’ remarks couldn’t have been more controversial. Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76 after suffering a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease contributing to his decline. His death was met with an outpouring of grief and admiration from fans and fellow musicians around the world. Ozzy wasn’t just remembered as the frontman of Black Sabbath, but also as a solo artist, a songwriter, and above all, a cultural force who shaped the sound and image of heavy metal. Tributes came flooding in, with many calling him a true rock legend who had influenced generations.
That’s why Waters’ dismissive tone felt so jarring. While he framed his comments as part of a broader criticism of the media—saying that Ozzy’s antics and public image had been overblown and that he didn’t care about the music—the bluntness came across as disrespectful, especially so soon after Ozzy’s death.
It’s also worth pointing out that Ozzy himself had expressed admiration for Pink Floyd during his life. In fact, in a 2004 Rolling Stone interview, he mentioned “Money” as one of his favorite rock songs. So hearing Waters tear down Ozzy in such a casual way stings even more for fans who respected both artists.
At the end of the day, this clash highlights a sharp contrast in how legacies are remembered. For millions, Ozzy Osbourne will always be the “Prince of Darkness,” a man who helped shape rock history. For Roger Waters, though, it seems that respect was never there—and Jack Osbourne wasn’t about to let that slide without firing back.
