“My father always thought you were a c**t”: Jack Osbourne slams Roger Waters for saying he “couldn’t give a f**k” about Ozzy Osbourne’s music
Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters has reignited an age-old feud with Black Sabbath, snubbing the late Ozzy Osbourne in a new interview – and Ozzy’s son Jack isn’t too happy about it.
Speaking to The Independent Ink, Waters discusses how pop culture often diverts attention away from politics and humanitarian issues. He namedrops “Taylor Swift [and] Kim Kardashian’s bum” as unimportant topics the media uses to detract from vital topics – before, unfortunately, opting to lump Black Sabbath and The Prince of Darkness into the same category.
“It all doesn’t matter… and Ozzy Osbourne – who just died, bless him!” he adds to his list of media buzz topics. “Whatever that state that he was in his whole life, we’ll never know… He was all over the TV for years, with his idiocy and nonsense.”

After already criticising the late musician, he also decides to criticise Black Sabbath’s music on the whole. “The music, I have no idea,” he says. “I couldn’t give a fuck!”
“I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did,” he announces. “I have no interest in ‘BLAAAAH!’, biting the heads off of chickens, or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less.”
Now Jack Osbourne, son of Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on 22 July just weeks after Sabbath’s grand Back To The Beginning farewell show, has responded by calling the former Pink Floyd man a “cunt”.
“Hey Roger Waters – fuck you,” he writes in a new Instagram post. “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,” he adds. “Thanks for proving him right.”
This isn’t the first time Waters has shared his dislike of Sabbath’s music. Speaking in music magazine Melody Maker back in 1970, he critiqued the band’s debut album Paranoid, honing in on the album’s cover of Crow’s Evil Woman.
“Well, well, well… I’m speechless,” he said [via Louder]. “Well, almost. It’s got that kind of Dragnet, Peter Gunn, American detective series beginning. You keep thinking it’s going to start. You think that for the first minute but then, if you are really perceptive, you realise it isn’t going to start, and that’s all there is.”
It’s a comment that would stick with Sabbath for many years, with Tony Iommi even mentioning it in a radio interview with Planet Rock in 2017. “I used to read the slaggings we’d get and I’d just think ‘Why?’” he said. “There was one comment that really hurt and that didn’t actually come from the press. It came from Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.”
“He reviewed Paranoid when it came out as a single because he was reviewing the singles that week for a music paper,” Iommi recalled. “He gave it such a terrible review. I thought ‘Blimey!’ Hearing that from a fellow musician seemed really harsh.”
