Roger Waters has refused to back down from his insensitive comments about Ozzy Osbourne following the late Black Sabbath frontman's passing. The remarks, made during an interview with the Independent Ink podcast last summer, were met with widespread criticism and anger from the Osbourne family, including Jack Osbourne.
In a new interview with Piers Morgan, Waters continued to defend his statements, which many saw as callous and unfeeling given the circumstances of Ozzy's death. When asked if he regretted the timing of his comments, Waters said they were made in the middle of a long interview and that he doesn't feel obligated to like every rock band or musician.
Waters also refused to apologize to Sharon Osbourne, calling her a "raging Zionist" and suggesting that she has a history of making false accusations against him. When asked about apologizing to Jack Osbourne, Waters said he would have a chat with him if Ozzy wanted to talk, but would not be "nasty" to him.
The Osbourne family's response to Waters' comments was swift and decisive, with Jack Osbourne calling him out for his "pathetic" remarks on social media. The family even released a shirt mocking Waters, with the caption "Another Prick in the Wall," which references one of Ozzy's most infamous stage antics.
Waters' stance on the matter has only added to the controversy surrounding his comments, with many accusing him of being out of touch and insensitive. The incident serves as a reminder that even years after an event, some individuals can still be hurtful and divisive through their words and actions.

. Like, come on dude, Ozzy was a legend and you've got the nerve to dismiss his passing like it's no big deal? His comments are not only insensitive but also super petty - attacking Sharon Osbourne like that is just ridiculous 
. And Jack Osbourne speaking truth to power, I love it! That shirt though "Another Prick in the Wall" is EVERYTHING 
. Waters needs to take a seat and reflect on his words before he continues to spread hate and negativity 
. I don't get why he can't just apologize and move on - does he really think Ozzy's memory will be tarnished by his own ego? 
. I'm not sure what his deal is, but I do know that he needs to calm down and take responsibility for his words 
.
like what kinda person says somethin mean about someone dyin in public? 
and now hes callin sharon osbourne a zionist lol thats super rich comin from him 
The Osbourne family is right to call him out for his nasty remarks 
And that shirt they released with the caption? 
Perfect response if you ask me! 
I don't get why Roger Waters is being so hard on Ozzy's family 
.
. I mean, yeah, Jack has every right to express himself and be upset 
. But can't we just have a civil conversation about this stuff? It feels like Roger Waters is more interested in stirring up drama than actually making amends 
especially with Ozzy passing away, it's like, what's the point of even making those comments?! 
watss good rite? 
its not that hard to show some compassion when someone passes away, especially if u were close 2 them like jack osbourne was. wat's even worse is callin sharon osbourne a "raging zionist" - that's not cool at all
