• In the exchange, Waters mocked the notorious onstage animal-bite anecdote, asking whether biting a bat was worse than biting a chicken.
• The remarks, circulated widely on September 2–3, drew sharp pushback from Ozzy’s family and a wave of fan criticism on social media.
• Coverage anchors the dispute to Ozzy Osbourne’s July 22 death, with a London-registered certificate citing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s with autonomic dysfunction.
