Jack Osbourne has two pointed words for Roger Waters: “f–k you.” The comment came in an Instagram post from Osbourne on Tuesday (Sept. 2) in response to a recent interview with the former Pink Floyd bassist and solo act who said he didn’t “give a f–k” about the late Ozzy Osbourne‘s solo music or that of his band, Black Sabbath.

“Hey Roger Waters. F–k you,” Jack Osbourne wrote in his post. “How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls–t in the press. My father always thought you were a c–t — thanks for proving him right [clown emoji.]”

In an interview with The Independent Ink, Rogers was discussing the state of British politics when he said, “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 wit his idiocy and nonsense and… the music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f–k. I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did.”

The comments from Waters, 81, came six weeks after Osbourne’s death on July 22 at age 76 of a heart attack, just weeks after performing for the final time at the all-star July 5 Back to the Beginning concert featuring tributes from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Mastodon, Lamb of God and dozens more.

Waters’ rant about Osbourne continued with another dig at one of Ozzy’s most infamous moments. “I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know,” he said, with the interviewer clarifying that it was a bat whose head Ozzy famously bit off, not a chicken. “That’s even worse, isn’t it?”

The comments on Jack Osbourne’s post doubled-down on his Waters diss, with fans writing, “People have to ask who Roger Waters is, but no one has to ask who Ozzy is. Enough said,” as well as, “Your Father was The Best Judge of Character” and “disrespecting those who have passed away is a reflection of your character. Obviously Roger has none. God speed Ozzy! You are loved and missed.”

Cirkut Won Both Grammy & Juno Awards for Producer of the Year: Who Else Has Done That?

Just two other producers have doubled up — and just one other has done it in the same calendar year.

Cirkut is on a historic awards roll. On Feb. 1, he won the Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. On March 28, he won the Juno Award in his native Canada in the same category (since 2002, the award has been named in honour of Jack Richardson, the late Canadian producer who is probably best known in the U.S. for helming The Guess Who’s 1970 smash “American Woman.”)

Cirkut (born Henry Russell Walter) is just the second producer to win both awards in the same calendar year. The first was David Foster, who took both awards in 1985, when his big credit was the hit-laden Chicago 17. One other producer, Daniel Lanois, has won both awards, but he has yet to win both in the same year.
