Roger Waters has doubled down on comments he made about Ozzy Osbourne after his death.
The Osbournes came to blows with the former Pink Floyd member recently, when the latter took part in an interview with The Independent Ink podcast shortly after Ozzy’s death, and said that he wasn’t a fan of him, his time on television, or his music.
“He was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense,” he said, “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did, I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less.”
In response, Jack Osbourne took to social media to call out Waters for being “pathetic and out of touch”, adding: “My father always thought you were a c*nt – thanks for proving him right.”
Then, on an episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon hit back at Waters too, saying: “He has no charisma, he looks like Frankenstein. The guy is sick in the head, he is not relevant in today’s world. Nobody likes him.” Shortly afterwards, a new shirt listed for sale on the late metal legend’s merch page, showing a cartoon version of Ozzy urinating onto a wall that resembles the cover of the iconic Pink Floyd album, ‘The Wall’.
Now, in a new interview with Piers Morgan, Waters was asked about his remarks and whether he regretted saying them so soon after Osbourne’s death.
“Those comments, I’m not denying that I said them, came in the middle of a long interview,” Waters admitted before defending them. “Do I have to like every rock group that ever was or people who bite the heads off bats?”
