Jack Osbourne Defends Late Ozzy Osbourne Over Roger Waters' Comments

Jack Osbourne has hit back at Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd star made comments criticising his father, Ozzy Osbourne. The 39-year-old reality TV star pulled no punches when he responded to Waters' comments on Instagram on September 2, which just took place not long after the iconic metal singer died suddenly on July 22 at age 76.

Jack wrote in a scorched-earth post, "Hey Roger Waters, F--k You. How pathetic and out of touch you've become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls--t in the press." It was obvious that Jack wasn't going to let Waters' words slide, and the post, also shared by Jack's sister, Kelly Osbourne, made that very clear. Jack didn't stop there. He added that his father's feelings about Roger Waters were also reciprocated, "My father always thought you were a c--t." It's a sentiment that has long resonated with fans who have idolized the Osbourne family for their brutally honest nature and unwavering loyalty to one another.

Ozzy Osbourne addressed Roger Waters' comments regarding his health and his MTV reality series, made in an interview weeks after his death. Waters, 81, opined that Ozzy's bombastic, often clownish public image in the latter part of his career has detracted from his historic impact as a heavy-metal figure, a comment that got under Jack's skin for sure. Osbournes fans immediately sided with Jack, filling social media with messages of support for the late Black Sabbath frontman and his family. Many on Twitter and Instagram expressed solidarity with Jack, highlighting Ozzy's enduring influence on music and popular culture, perhaps despite what Waters said.

This showdown highlights the precarious balance some industry relationships strike, where personal feelings or public spats can linger for years, long after a musician's peak. And with Jack Osbourne, sticking up for his dad is about preserving the memory of a man who truly helped change the face of heavy metal. As the dialogue spills into the online world, Jack's posting is a brave reminder that, when it comes to family, taking sides outweighs mudslinging, and simply no nastiness will go unanswered where the Osbournes are concerned.
