Jack Osbourne Slams Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Over Ozzy Osbourne Diss

by

Jack Osbourne is sticking up for his dad Ozzy Osbourne.

As an ardent fan with unwavering devotion, I felt compelled to voice my thoughts after hearing Roger Waters’ rather bracing remarks regarding the legendary heavy metal figure, whose untimely demise due to a heart attack occurred on July 22 – a day that left us all mourning at the loss of our beloved icon, who was 76 years old.

Jack recently posted on Instagram, Sept. 2, a message aimed at Roger Waters that Kelly Osbourne later shared. The message read, ‘Roger Waters, I can’t help but express my disappointment. You seem to have lost touch with reality and are grasping for attention in a misguided way, resorting to sensationalist comments in the media.’

And the Osbournes alum made it clear Roger’s feelings about Ozzy were mutual.

“My father always thought you were a c–t,” he added. “Thanks for proving him right.”

In my perspective, following Jack’s statement, it seemed like a reaction to remarks made by the esteemed Roger, aged 81, during an interview not long after the demise of Ozzy. During this discussion, Roger voiced criticisms towards Ozzy’s MTV reality series and his health condition leading up to his passing.

Roger expressed on the August 12th episode of Independent Ink podcast that although Ozzy Osbourne, who recently passed away, had been a frequent figure on television for many years due to his eccentricities and antics, he showed no particular interest in Ozzy’s music. He made it clear that he was indifferent towards Black Sabbath and their work.

Roger subsequently voiced his disapproval regarding one of the Grammy-winning artist’s notorious incidents – the incident involving him biting the head off a bat during a concert back in 1982.

Roger went on to say that he has no enthusiasm for activities such as beheading chickens, or anything of the sort. In simpler terms, he just doesn’t care.

Although Roger didn’t soften his criticism towards Ozzy, many people fondly recalled him. Interestingly, Jack paid a heartfelt tribute to his late father shortly following Ozzy’s burial in Birmingham, England, where he was originally laid to rest.

As one fortunate member among many, I had the privilege to address him as “Dad.” In August, I penned down this truth on Instagram. My heart is swirling with immense sadness and sorrow yet brimming with love and gratitude. Those 14,501 days I shared with him were not just days, they were a blessing.

To see how more stars paid tribute to Ozzy after his death, keep reading.

Instead of “The heavy metal band shared a throwback photo of Ozzy Osbourne with a simple broken heart emoji as the caption,” you could write: “The heavy metal group posted an old picture of Ozzy Osbourne, accompanied by a single broken heart symbol.

He was an extraordinary friend and pioneer who etched his name among the greats in rock music – a genuine legend. Not only that, but he was one of the funniest individuals I’ve ever encountered. His absence will be deeply felt. My heartfelt condolences and love go out to Sharon and the family during this difficult time.

“Love Live The Oz,” he wrote. “Rest In Melody.”

He expressed his love, aloha towards Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne (his family), writing ‘I love you’ beside a photo of them. He was deeply grateful and posted ‘Rest In Peace.’

As a devoted admirer, I’m utterly devastated to announce the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. This rapper here, we share a rich history, and it was truly an honor to witness him being inducted into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year. My heartfelt sympathies are extended towards Sharon, his children, and the entire family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Ozzy.

One of the iconic rock legends that graced this earth… was the statement made by a member of Def Leppard. He mentioned that their upcoming performances would be dedicated to Ozzy. Also extending his heartfelt sympathies to Sharon Osbourne and the entire Osbourne family. May Ozzy find eternal peace, and thank you for the incredible impact you had on our world through rock music.

He posted, ‘Rest in Peace Ozzy,’ following the massive Black Sabbath farewell show. It’s a sad time indeed, as I believe they were pioneers of heavy metal music.

The director reminisced about him being an incredibly charming individual, always ready for a good time with his persona. He was truly a legendary figure in the music industry, whose absence would significantly impact it. Rest In Peace, Ozzy.

Alongside a video of Sharon and Billy Corgan, the band wrote, “We [heart] you too, Ozzy.”

Speaking for the band, lead guitarist Mike McCready recounted his high school years when he initially encountered Black Sabbath.

 

He found ‘War Pigs’ both chilling and captivating. It was Ozzy’s voice that transported him to a haunting realm. A fascinating voyage indeed. When the album ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ arrived, he instantly became a fan. Thanks, Ozzy, for your music – it enriches our lives’ journey.

The actor fondly expressed about his “Little Nicky” co-star, saying, “Whether we were hanging out in our basements with siblings, exploring woods with friends, riding in cars, attending keg parties, boating, practicing football, or having sleepovers, no one was cooler to blast on our speakers than the undeniable prince of darkness – Ozzy Osbourne! We all adored him just as much.

The ‘Goonies’ star expressed, ‘What an extraordinary influence he had on me, and countless others who saw him as a thriving misfit, embodying the gritty essence in our deepest selves. He was a blend of circus, theater, love, loyalty, and the everyday person’s talent.’

I was deeply saddened to learn about Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, as expressed by the Rolling Stones’ guitarist. He had a heartwarming farewell performance at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham.
