For months, fans hoped the dust had settled. Ozzy Osbourne the Prince of Darkness, the unstoppable ironman of rock passed away earlier this year, leaving a crater-sized hole in the music world. The tributes poured in. The emotions were raw. And most assumed that any lingering tensions among rock legends would finally be laid to rest with him.
But they were wrong. Very, very wrong.
Because this week, Roger Waters decided to speak again.
With just a few pointed comments, the rock icon has detonated the quiet. And now Team Osbourne is firing back with a fury nobody saw coming, escalating a feud that was already simmering beneath the surface. The gloves are off, the tone is sharp, and the battle lines have officially been drawn.
Welcome to the next chapter in a clash that refuses to die even after Ozzy did.
Waters’ Comments: The Spark That Reignited the Fire
It started innocently enough or at least, it looked like it. Waters was speaking at an event earlier this month when he made what he probably thought was a “harmless observation.” But anyone who knows the Osbournes knows there’s no such thing as a harmless jab when it comes to Ozzy’s legacy.
Waters mentioned that while Ozzy was “a one-of-a-kind performer,” he wasn’t exactly “a visionary” and that his influence was “more spectacle than substance.”
And that’s when the entire rockosphere froze.
Because if there’s one thing you don’t criticize, it’s Ozzy Osbourne’s contribution to music. Not after everything he built. Not after everything he survived. Not after he’s barely been gone six months.
But Waters didn’t stop there. He added that perhaps the “myth around Ozzy has grown bigger in death than it ever was in life.”
Cue the explosion.
Sharon Osbourne’s Immediate Detonation: “Keep Ozzy’s Name Out of Your Mouth”
Sharon Osbourne Ozzy’s wife, manager, and legendary rock-world gladiator did not wait a second before firing back.
Within hours, she blasted Waters with a scorching message that spread across social media like wildfire. Fans barely had time to blink before Sharon’s rebuttal landed like a sledgehammer:
I won’t let anyone rewrite history. Ozzy earned his legacy with blood, sweat, and soul. If Roger Waters wants to tear down legends to make himself feel taller, he should leave my husband’s name out of his mouth.
Boom.
The internet lit up. Fans took sides. The comment sections became battlegrounds.
And this was only the beginning.
Kelly and Jack Osbourne Jump In: “Disrespect Won’t Be Tolerated”
The Osbourne kids weren’t about to sit this one out.
Kelly Osbourne, never one to hold back, unleashed a blistering statement calling Waters’ remarks “pathetic and out-of-touch.”
My dad inspired generations. Whole genres exist because he broke the rules. If Waters can’t see that, maybe it’s because he’s too stuck in his own ego to look beyond it.”
Meanwhile, Jack Osbourne delivered a more surgical strike cold, factual, and impossible to ignore. He posted a timeline of Ozzy’s career milestones, Grammys, sold-out tours, and chart-topping albums, captioned:
For someone who supposedly lacked ‘vision,’ he sure achieved more than most musicians could ever dream of.
Together, the siblings turned social media into an all-out Osbourne defense zone.
Rock Fans Are Divided and LOUD About It
Within hours, hashtags exploded:

WatersWentTooFar
RespectOzzy
Rock fans across the world are arguing, dissecting, and taking sides like it’s a championship fight.
Some argue Waters has always been brutally honest and doesn’t sugarcoat his opinions even about icons. Others say this wasn’t “honesty,” it was “unnecessary disrespect,” especially so soon after Ozzy’s passing.
But the loudest voices? They belong to the fans who believe Ozzy’s legacy is untouchable. Period.
“I never expected this level of disrespect,” one fan wrote.
“Ozzy gave the world more than Waters ever will,” said another.
This feud has turned into a global firestorm and it’s showing no signs of cooling off.
Why Waters Did It: A Mystery or a Move?
Here’s where things get even more interesting.
People close to Waters claim the comments were “taken out of context.” But insiders whisper something much juicier:
that Waters was feeling overshadowed by the massive outpouring of love for Ozzy and wanted to “redirect the spotlight.”
Whether that’s true or not… it’s spreading.
And once something spreads in the rock world, there’s no putting the lid back on.
The Osbourne Inner Circle: “We’re Not Backing Down”
According to sources near the family, the Osbournes are fully united and absolutely done staying quiet.
Sharon is reportedly considering addressing the issue on her talk show. Kelly is preparing a podcast episode to “clear the air.” And Jack has allegedly collected receipts statements, interviews, and comments Waters has made over the years that he believes show a pattern of belittling other musicians.
If any of that goes public…
this feud won’t just continue.
It will detonate.
What Happens Next? A Showdown Feels Inevitable
Fans are now waiting to see whether Waters will respond again. The longer he stays silent, the more people think he’s cornered. But if he fires back especially at Sharon expect this to escalate into the biggest rock feud of the decade.
And the timing? Brutal.
Ozzy hasn’t even been gone a year. Emotions are raw. Fans are fragile. The Osbournes are grieving and protective.
Which is why this feud just transformed from a disagreement into something far more personal.
This is about legacy, respect, and how much someone can take before they strike back
One Thing Is Crystal Clear
This little feud?
It’s not little anymore.
It’s big, it’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s dragging two massive rock legends into a spotlight hotter than ever.
Team Osbourne has spoken loudly, fiercely, and without hesitation.
And now the world is watching to see whether Roger Waters stands down…
…or whether the next explosion is just around the corner.
