Overview

• Jack Osbourne posted on Instagram on Tuesday, telling Roger Waters “F*** you” and calling him “pathetic and out of touch,” adding that Ozzy “always thought you were a c***.”
• Waters’ comments came in a The Independent Ink interview last month where he said he “couldn’t give a f***” about Ozzy’s music or Black Sabbath and derided Ozzy’s TV presence as “idiocy and nonsense.”
• In the exchange, Waters also mocked the bat-biting lore, first saying “chickens,” then replying “That’s even worse” when corrected that it was a bat.
• Waters framed his remarks within a broader critique that pop-culture figures distract from politics, citing examples such as Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.
• Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 at 76; his death certificate lists out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.
