Jack Osbourne Responds to Roger Waters’ Comments About His Late Father
Jack Osbourne has shown no tolerance for negative remarks regarding his late father, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne. Recently, Jack took to social media to address comments made by Roger Waters, the co-founder of Pink Floyd.
Waters made a controversial statement suggesting that a recently deceased Ozzy would still congratulate him regardless of his state. Jack, 39, didn’t let that slide, expressing his thoughts openly on Instagram.
“I don’t care about Black Sabbath; I never did,” Jack remarked, adding that he wasn’t concerned about the band’s legacy. He also called out Waters’ comments directly, saying, “Hey Roger, how pathetic and out of touch you are.” Such strong reactions indicate the emotional weight surrounding discussions of his father’s passing.
Jack’s sister, Kelly Osbourne, was also in the news recently. In a match, WWE star Becky Lynch referenced Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham in a rather dismissive way, saying, “The only good thing that came out of here passed away a month ago.” Kelly deemed these remarks disrespectful and criticized the WWE for allowing such comments.
She stated, “You’re a rude dirt bag! Birmingham won’t be the same without him. I just can’t believe they made such remarks about my father and his home.” It’s clear that the Osbourne family is facing the public’s scrutiny while dealing with their grief.
Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76 on July 22nd. The cause of death was detailed in a certificate that cited a combination of cardiac issues and Parkinson’s disease. His family shared their sorrow in a statement released at the time, asking for privacy as they mourned their loss.
Ozzy’s funeral was held recently, attended by family members including his wife Sharon and kids Kelly and Jack. Thousands lined the streets of Birmingham to pay their respects as his procession headed toward the Black Sabbath Bridge, a notable landmark honoring the legendary musician.
The lead singer’s final concert took place just prior to his passing, showcasing performances from big names like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses. Ozzy left behind a rich legacy, surviving by his immediate family and others from his earlier marriage.
He had expressed a desire for his funeral to be a celebration rather than a mournful event, emphasizing humor and gratitude for life. While discussing funeral plans years prior, he mentioned wanting to incorporate light-hearted elements rather than a strictly somber farewell.
Though dealing with personal loss, Jack and Kelly Osbourne’s responses to public comments highlight the complexities of grief in the spotlight. As they navigate this challenging time, it’s evident that they are fiercely protective of their father’s legacy.
