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.”

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
