Jack Osbourne Fires Back After Roger Waters Insults Late Ozzy Osbourne

Jack Osbourne is standing firmly in defense of his father, the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, after Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters made disparaging remarks about the late Black Sabbath frontman. During an appearance on The Independent Ink, Waters, 81, mocked Ozzy’s legacy, dismissing his work and character in comments that struck a painful chord with the Osbourne family.

Ozzy, who passed away on July 22 at age 76, remains one of the most influential figures in rock history. His death prompted an outpouring of love from fans across the world, particularly in his hometown of Birmingham, England, where thousands gathered in a procession to honor his life. Against this backdrop of mourning and respect, Waters’s remarks felt especially harsh and misplaced to those closest to the singer.

Roger Waters reportedly called Ozzy Osbourne’s decades-long presence in music and television “idiocy and nonsense.” He went further, saying he never cared about Black Sabbath and mocking the band’s infamous reputation for shocking stage antics. The words, according to Fox News, came just weeks after Ozzy’s passing, deepening the sting for his grieving family.

Jack Osbourne wasted no time in responding. On Instagram, he directed his anger at Waters, writing, “Hey Roger Waters, F— you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls— in the press. My father always thought you were a c— – thanks for proving him right.” His blunt reply reflected the deep hurt felt by the family over comments that seemed to diminish his father’s immense contributions to music.

The confrontation with Roger Waters is not the only defense Ozzy’s children have mounted since his death. Just last week, Kelly Osbourne fired back at WWE star Becky Lynch after she insulted Birmingham and Ozzy’s memory during a broadcast of Monday Night Raw. Kelly called the wrestler “disrespectful” and criticized the organization for allowing such remarks.

Through these exchanges, Ozzy’s children have made it clear that they will not stand by silently while others take aim at their father’s name. Beyond the controversy, fans continue to celebrate the life and music of the man who gave the world unforgettable performances, from the early days of Black Sabbath to his final concert in Birmingham. For them, Ozzy’s legacy is defined not by insults but by the enduring power of his voice and the memories his music created.
