Here’s a simple blog post about the Osbourne family’s reaction to Roger Waters’ comments after Ozzy Osbourne’s death:
Osbournes vs. Roger Waters: A Family Responds
After Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July 2025, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters made blistering remarks about him in an interview. He dismissed Ozzy’s music, called him “idiocy and nonsense,” and even said he had “no interest in Black Sabbath.”
Jack Osbourne’s Reaction
Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, was furious. He hit back on social media, writing:
“Hey Roger Waters, f— you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. … My father always thought you were a c*nt — thanks for proving him right.”
His response was raw and emotional — defending his dad’s legacy and calling Waters out directly.
The Family Speaks on Their Podcast
In the first episode of The Osbournes Podcast since Ozzy’s death, Jack joined his mom Sharon and sister Kelly to discuss Waters’ remarks — and their feelings ran deep.
Sharon called Waters “one of the most sick individuals I’ve come across in years.”
Kelly didn’t hold back either, calling him “a f*cking c*nt.”
Sharon added that he “has no charisma… he looks like Frankenstein.”
She also accused him of being “sick in the head” and said nobody likes him — unless they’re “a fascist.”
In her harshest words, Sharon said:
“He’s a sad, irrelevant, old, miserable human being — a miserable ugly human being.”
When Kelly joked, “I hope he shits himself in public,” Sharon replied, “That’s too good. Shit makes flowers grow.
Why They Reacted So Strongly
Personal grief: For the Osbournes, this wasn’t just a public insult — it felt like a slap at Ozzy’s memory at a very painful time.
Defending Ozzy’s legacy: They clearly feel Waters’ comments diminish what their dad meant to them and to rock music.
Longstanding tension: The Osbourne family and Waters have a rocky history, so this isn’t completely new.

What It Means
This isn’t just tabloid drama — it’s a deeper clash:
It shows how much Ozzy’s family still wants to protect his legacy, even after his death.
It highlights a generational divide between rock icons: for Waters, Ozzy’s era maybe felt passé or overexposed; for the Osbournes, Ozzy was irreplaceable.
Their public confrontation makes the grief feel very real — this is a family using their own platform (their podcast) to push back and speak honestly.
