A heated feud has broken out between Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd member, and the family of the late Ozzy Osbourne. What started as a few rude comments has now turned into a loud public argument, with strong reactions from the entire Osbourne family.
How it all started
A few weeks after Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July, Roger Waters gave an interview where he was asked about the Black Sabbath legend. Instead of offering kindness or respect, Waters said he didn’t care about Ozzy’s music at all. He also said he never cared about Black Sabbath and didn’t pay attention to anything they did. Many people found his comments cold and unnecessary, especially so soon after Ozzy’s death.
Waters even joked about the wild stories surrounding Ozzy’s stage performances, saying he had “no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do.” These comments quickly spread online and upset fans around the world.
Jack Osbourne’s strong response
Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne was the first to fire back. He called Roger Waters “pathetic and out of touch” on social media. Jack also revealed that his father never liked Waters to begin with. His message made it clear that the Osbourne family was deeply offended and wasn’t going to stay quiet.
Sharon Osbourne enters the conversation
Things escalated even more when Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife, responded on Piers Morgan Uncensored. She didn’t hold back. Sharon called Waters “a sad, irrelevant, old, miserable human being” and said he was no longer respected in the music world.
She also said that Waters hasn’t created anything great on his own and that he was “a has-been.” Sharon went further by saying that Waters is “not wired right” and that he walks around “in a pathetic homemade Nazi outfit,” referring to his controversial stage costumes that have gotten him in trouble before.
The T-shirt and the history of pranks
This feud even jumped into merchandise. Ozzy Osbourne’s website released a limited-edition T-shirt making fun of Waters. It was a playful but pointed way for the family to show they weren’t backing down.
Sharon also talked about an old prank she used to do years ago when someone wrote a bad review about Ozzy without even attending the show. She would send them a Tiffany jewelry box filled with baby Jack’s poop. She joked that she almost sent one to Waters, but then said he wasn’t worth the effort.
Sharon’s belief about the real reason behind Waters’ insults
During the interview, Sharon suggested that Waters might have targeted her and Ozzy because of antisemitism. Sharon is half-Jewish, and Waters has faced accusations of antisemitism in the past. She said she believed this could be part of why he made those comments. Waters has strongly denied those accusations in the past.
Where things stand now
As of today, Roger Waters has not responded to Sharon’s latest statements. The Osbourne family continues to stand together, defending Ozzy’s memory and calling out what they view as disrespectful comments.
This feud shows just how emotional things can get when someone speaks badly about a person who has recently passed away — especially someone as loved as Ozzy Osbourne. For fans, family, and the rock community, the fight is about more than insults. It’s about respect, legacy, and honoring someone who changed music forever.
