Ozzy Osbourne’s family have hit out at Roger Waters branding him “a sad, irrelevant, old, miserable, ugly human being”.
It comes after the Pink Floyd bassist previously spoke out about The Prince Of Darkness’ death shortly after his passing.
“Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life, we’ll never know. Although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years, with his idiocy and nonsense. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck,” Waters said at the time.
Waters went on: “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”
This led to Jack Osbourne hitting out at his comments and defending his late father’s honour.
“Hey Roger Waters, fuck you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press. My father always thought you were a c*nt – thanks for proving him right,” he said in response.
Now, Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne have laid into Waters again on the latest episode of The Osbournes Podcast.
Sharon said he was “probably one of the most sick individuals I’ve come across in years,” with Jack responding, “Oh, you talking about my mate Roger?,” before Kelly added: “He’s a fucking c*nt.”
Sharon continued: “He isn’t, ’cause c*nts are good. … He has no charisma. He looks like Frankenstein.”
She went on to say: “The guy is sick in the head. He is not relevant in today’s world. Nobody likes him. It’s not just us. Nobody likes this man. … unless you’re a fascist.”
Sharon added: “I don’t know how those guys in Pink Floyd put up with him as long as they did. … David [Gilmour] is the most gracious, warm person you could ever meet.”
She then summed him up as “a sad, irrelevant, old, miserable human being – a miserable ugly human being.”
Waters has previously denied accusations of antisemitism in his support for Palestine. In 2023, CAA published a documentary of the musician The Dark Side Of Roger Waters. Upon watching it, Waters slammed the film as “a flimsy, unapologetic piece of propaganda”.
The musician has been a longtime supporter of Palestine; most recently, he urged followers on social media not to vote for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in the upcoming US election due to their respective stances on the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. He has also hit back at other musicians for their various stances on Israel.
Speaking about Waters’ comments on Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon said: “Do you know why he [Waters] did it? He did it because he knows I’m half-Jewish.”
Waters is yet to respond publicly to any of the Osbournes’ comments.
In the past Sharon has hit out at Kneecap, over their stance on supporting Palestinians describing their “whole attitude” as “one of anger, it’s not of peace”. She also called for a “revocation of Kneecap’s work visa”.
The band in response said: “Statements aren’t aggressive, murdering 20,000 children is though.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, the family revealed that Ozzy was secretly hospitalised just two weeks before his final concert and they shared that both Donald Trump and King Charles reached out to them after learning of the Prince Of Darkness’ death.
