Roger Waters Said Some Ignorant Sh*t About Ozzy and Black Sabbath, So Jack Osbourne Ripped Him a New One

What it is about old white dudes that when they reach a certain age they gain the flexibility to plant their feet directly into their far too open mouths? In a recent interview with The Independent Ink, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters gave a dumb, ill-informed opinion on the late Ozzy Osbourne‘s recent passing and the legacy of Black Sabbath — and Jack Osbourne ain’t having it.

“Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck.

“I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”

Nevermind that the bat thing happened when Ozzy was out of Sabbath, it’s just an ignorant way to approach one of the more undeniably iconic individuals in music since the late ’60s. Oh and of course he had to make a jab about Ozzy’s struggles with addiction and all that. Good look on that one. Way to rip one of your own countrymen and an open fan of your music, man. Ozzy was very vocal about his appreciation of Pink Floyd’s discography.

Immediately cognizant of the bullshit was Jack Osbourne, who took to social media to blast Waters for his remarks.

“Hey Roger Waters, fuck you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press. My father always thought you were a cunt. Thanks for proving him right.”

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025 at 76 years old after suffering a heart attack.

Now, I’ll be the first to sort of defend Waters’ recent actions in the press, since he’s largely been a vocal supporter of Palestine and an opponent to the genocide that Israel is perpetrating in the region. He’s also been a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Both stances are definitely against the pro-Israeli stance that Jack’s mom Sharon’s taken in the past.

Still, maybe more people (read: old white dudes) need to learn the value of “if you don’t have something nice to say, kindly fuck off.”
