Rock followers had been met with a showdown of epic proportions when Jack Osbourne launched a blistering social media assault on Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, after the prog-rock legend publicly dismissed Ozzy Osbourne’s profession.
In a current look on the Impartial Ink podcast, Waters slammed the late Ozzy as a cultural distraction, saying, “Ozzy Osbourne, who simply died, bless him, in his no matter… he was everywhere in the TV for a whole bunch of years along with his idiocy and nonsense.” Waters went even additional, mocking Ozzy’s music and legendary stage antics—crudely dismissing the notorious bat-biting second and expressing no real interest in Black Sabbath’s legacy.
The response was swift and brutal. On Instagram, Jack shot again: “F-k you. How pathetic and out of contact you’ve turn out to be. The one approach you appear to get consideration nowadays is by vomiting out bullshit within the press. My father all the time thought you had been a c-t – thanks for proving him proper.” He capped his put up with a clown emoji and the hashtag #f-krogerwaters.
The assault comes simply weeks after the tragic passing of Ozzy on July 22, following a battle with Parkinson’s and coronary heart illness. Jack and Kelly Osbourne have each been vocal in defending their father’s legacy, responding to public jabs with fierce loyalty and emotion.
Waters’ dismissive tone towards a pioneer of heavy metallic strikes a nerve in a group constructed on ardour and respect, and whereas Waters makes his opinions identified fairly a bit, he might have actually crossed a line this time.
