Overview
- On Sept. 2, Jack Osbourne posted on Instagram Stories telling Roger Waters “fuck you,” calling him “pathetic and out of touch,” and adding the hashtag #fuckrogerwaters.
- In an interview on The Independent Ink, Waters said he “couldn’t give a fuck” about Ozzy Osbourne’s music and that he never cared about Black Sabbath.
- Waters also derided Ozzy’s TV persona as “idiocy and nonsense” and joked about onstage antics, reacting when the host noted the infamous incident involved a bat, not a chicken.
- The exchange surfaced roughly six weeks after Ozzy’s July 22 death at 76, with his death certificate citing cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.
- As of Sept. 3, outlets reported no apology or further public response from Waters, as the dispute continued across music and social media coverage.
