Ozzy Osbourne’s Family Criticizes Roger Waters’ Remarks on Late Black Sabbath Singer

The family of the late Ozzy Osbourne has publicly criticized Roger Waters for derogatory comments he made about the iconic singer. Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2023, shortly after his final performance in a show titled “Back to the Beginning.” Rogers made divisive remarks during an interview with The Independent Ink that sparked outrage among Osbourne’s relatives.

Controversial Remarks by Roger Waters

In the interview, Waters stated, “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his… whatever that state that he was in his whole life.” He dismissed Ozzy’s contributions to music by saying, “The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck.”

Osbourne Family’s Response

Sharon, Kelly, and Jack, Ozzy’s family members, reacted strongly on a recent episode of “The Osbournes Podcast.” Sharon described Waters as “probably one of the most twisted, sick individuals I’ve come across in years.”

• Jack Osbourne remarked, “Hey @rogerwaters, fuck you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become.”
• He added, “My father always thought you were a cunt — thanks for proving him right.”
• Kelly called him “a fucking ct,” while Sharon noted, “He has no charisma, okay? He looks like Frankenstein.”

Previous Criticisms

Jack had previously condemned Waters on social media in September 2023, claiming that his comments generated the most press coverage Waters had seen in years. Jack recalled how his father had a complicated relationship with Waters, stating, “Dad would always be like, ‘I love Pink Floyd. I fucking hate Roger Waters.’”

Family Perspectives on Waters

Sharon Osbourne described Waters as a “sad, irrelevant, old, miserable human being.” She emphasized that Waters is “not relevant in today’s world” and insinuated that he is disliked by many, except for a select few. She expressed her disbelief that Waters remained in a band as successful as Pink Floyd for so long.

Further Attacks by Pink Floyd Members

Moreover, Waters has faced criticism from Polly Samson, David Gilmour’s wife. She labeled him as “anti-Semitic to the rotten core” and additionally accused him of being a “Putin apologist” and “misogynistic.” Gilmour himself supported his wife’s remarks, stating, “Every word demonstrably true.” This ongoing rift suggests that a Pink Floyd reunion is unlikely anytime soon.

The feud between Osbourne’s family and Roger Waters illustrates the ongoing tensions within the music community, with stark criticisms reflecting personal and professional grievances.
