Jack Osbourne has launched a scathing attack on Pink Floyd's Roger Waters following disparaging remarks the musician made about his late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
The 39-year-old took to Instagram Stories and X on Tuesday to condemn Waters as "pathetic and out of touch" after the bassist dismissed the Black Sabbath frontman's musical legacy in a recent interview.
In his social media tirade, Jack revealed that his father had always considered Waters "a c**t", adding that the Pink Floyd co-founder had "proved him right" with his comments.
The former reality television star accused Waters of seeking attention through controversial statements, suggesting this was the "only way" the 81-year-old musician could remain relevant in the press.

Jack concluded his message with a clown emoji and later posted the hashtag "#f**krogerwaters".
Waters' inflammatory comments emerged during an interview with The Independent Ink last month, where he expressed complete indifference towards the late rock icon's musical contributions.
"Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life," Waters stated. "We'll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn't give a f**k."
The bassist went further, dismissing Black Sabbath entirely: "I don't care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn't care less, you know."

Jack's complete Instagram statement read: "Hey @rogerwaters. F**k You. 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."
He continued: "My father always thought you were a c*** - thanks for proving him right," before adding a clown face emoji.
