Osbourne, who founded Black Sabbath - one of the iconic heavy metal bands - passed at the age of 76 on July 22, 2025. Given his stature in rock music, Osbourne's passing dominated headlines as loyal fans remembered the 'Prince of Darkness.'

However, Roger Waters, the former lead of the rock band Pink Floyd, has said in a recent podcast appearance that he is not a fan of late Ozzy Osbourne and "couldn't care less" about his recent death. The comment has irked many fans of Osbourne's fans, including his son, Jack Osbourne, who hit out at Waters.

"Hey Roger Waters, f*** you," Jack Osbourne wrote in a post on X. “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*** — thanks for proving him right. 🤡”

What Did Roger Waters Say About Ozzy?

“Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever that state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f***,” he said.

“I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”
