Jack Osbourne responds to Roger Waters’ criticism of his late father Ozzy Osbourne

In early September 2025, Jack Osbourne fired back at Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd co-founder made disparaging remarks about his late father, Ozzy Osbourne. During an interview, Waters, aged 81, criticized the music and image of Ozzy and Black Sabbath, dismissing their iconic acts. Waters’ comments about Ozzy, who had died in July 2025, included mocking his music and famously bizarre onstage antics, such as biting the heads off chickens. Jack Osbourne took to Instagram to vehemently defend his father, posting a blunt message aimed directly at Waters, calling him ‘pathetic’ and accusing him of seeking attention with controversial remarks. Jack’s post ended with a clown emoji, referencing Waters’ provocative behavior. The dispute highlights the continuing cultural tension between these two influential rock figures and adds to the ongoing conversation about legacy and respect within the music world. The Osbournes’ reality TV presence and Ozzy’s death earlier this year have kept the family in the public eye. The original comments by Waters have stirred up significant backlash, further fueling the clash between these music legends.
