Shortly after Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters commented on the late Black Sabbath frontman in an interview with The Independent Ink. While many musicians at the time were paying tribute to Ozzy, Waters admitted he never cared much for him.
“Ozzy Osbourne, who just died […]. Although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years, with his idiocy and nonsense. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f*ck,” Waters said in September 2025. “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”
In a recent interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Waters doubled down on his comments.
“Well, I mean, do I have to like every rock group there ever was in the world?” he said. “I was honest. I said I didn’t like Black Sabbath… I’ve listened to some of it since and the music is perfectly kind of acceptable. It was all the kind of histrionics. I just don’t like people who bite the heads off bats. I just don’t, I think it’s disgusting.”
When asked if he would apologize to the Osbourne family, Waters responded “of course I will,” before adding: “Not that I have any time for Sharon Osbourne, she’s a raging Zionist and in consequence… she’s accused me of all kinds of things. Because she’s part of the Israeli lobby.”
Now, Disturbed frontman David Draiman is calling out Waters for his remarks.
Commenting on a clip of Waters’ interview with Morgan, Draiman criticized the Pink Floyd co-founder.
“@rogerwaters lost his humanity, if he ever had any, in a bottle of vodka many years ago,” Draiman wrote on Twitter/X. “He only wishes he could be as beloved, respected and admired as @OzzyOsbourne. Keep his name out of your Jew hating, dictator loving, filthy mouth.”
