Ozzy Osbourne’s son, Jack, has fired at Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd legend recently said he “couldn’t give a fuck” about Black Sabbath and criticised Ozzy Osbourne’s televised “idiocy and nonsense.”

Telling the world what he really thinks of the metal icon, Rogers recently took part in an interview with The Independent Ink, where he blasted the UK media for focusing on celebrity stories rather than political news.

Waters said, “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him, in whatever state he was in his whole life. We’ll never know, although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense.”

He added, “The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck. I don’t care about Black Sabbath. I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”

In response, Jack Osbourne shared a post on Instagram with the hashtag “#fuckrogerwaters.”

“Hey Roger Waters, fuck you,” Osbourne wrote.

He continued, “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 c*nt - thanks for proving him right.”

Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July, just seventeen days after taking to the stage for the final time at Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning farewell concert in the band’s home of Birmingham. He was 76.

The news of his passing didn’t just shake the UK; it also rippled and touched numerous musicians across the globe. Metallica, Oasis, Yungblud, Evanescence, Judas Priest, Fall Out Boy, Halestorm, Elton John, and many others recently paid tribute to the Prince of Darkness.

Osbourne’s health battles in recent years, including with Parkinson’s Disease, were well-documented. His cause of death was confirmed last month, with the joint causes of cardiac arrest, Acute myocardial infarction, Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction listed on his death certificate.
