'How pathetic': Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack blasts Pink Floyd star for 'vomiting out bulls***' about late dad

Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack has blasted Pink Floyd star Roger Waters’ “pathetic” comments about his late father.

The Black Sabbath rocker died aged 76 of a heart attack on July 22 following a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s.

Waters said he “couldn’t give a f**k” about Black Sabbath in an interview with The Independent Ink, published on August 12.

"I don't care about Black Sabbath, I never did, I have no interest," the Pink Floyd co-founder, 81, said. "I couldn't care less."

Waters added: “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him, in his whatever that state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know, we didn’t, you know? Although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense.”

Jack, 39, hit back at the bassist on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, raging: “Hey @rogerwaters. F**k You.”

He added: “How pathetic and out of touch you've become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls*** in the press.

“My father always thought you were a c*** - thanks for proving him right.”

He added in a second Instagram Story: “#f***rogerwaters."

It comes a week after his sister Kelly, 40, called out WWE star Becky Lynch for insulting Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham.

“I’m not wrestling in Birmingham,” the Irish wrestler, 37, told the audience at WWE Raw.

“The only good thing that came out of here died a month ago. But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.”

The remark was met with a mixture of boos and shocked reactions inside the arena and quickly spread online, where fans accused her of crossing a line.

Kelly took to Instagram to brand Lynch a “disrespectful dirtbag”, stating: “Birmingham would not p*** on you if you were on fire.”

Ozzy was buried next to a “beautiful” lake in the grounds of his family home after his death.

The Prince of Darkness was given a fitting farewell in a public procession through the streets of Birmingham, during which thousands of fans as well as Ozzy’s family paid tribute to him.

The music legend was laid to rest a day later at his family home - which he and wife Sharon bought in 1993 - in an “incredibly emotional” private service for 110 of his loved ones, The Sun reported.

Stars including Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica’s James Hetfield, Yungblud, Sir Elton John, and Marilyn Manson were all among the mourners.
