The Osbourne family members have expressed their views after Roger Waters publicly criticized Ozzy Osbourne following his death earlier this year, with Sharon Osbourne nearly taking things a step further in a rather extreme manner.
To recap, during an appearance on the Independent Ink podcast, Waters commented on Osbourne’s death within a broader discussion about how pop culture figures can distract from more significant political issues.
He stated at one point, “Or Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him, in his, whatever that state that he was in his whole life, we’ll never know. Although, he was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense.”
He further added, “The music, I have no idea, I couldn’t give a fuck. I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did, I have no interest in…. ‘Wahhhh!!!’ [sticks tongue out] and biting the heads off chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less.”
In the months since, both Jack Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne have spoken out against Waters and even offered a limited diss shirt depicting Ozzy urinating on a wall resembling the album art from Pink Floyd’s The Wall, with the text reading, “Another Prick in the Wall.”
What Did Sharon Osbourne Almost Send to Roger Waters After His Comments?
While appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Sharon addressed Waters’ comments shortly after Ozzy’s death and had some choice words for the former Pink Floyd leader.
“He was great, but his greatness didn’t last. He couldn’t do any great music on his own,” she shared, adding, “He’s crazy though; he’s definitely not wired right. Five wives later, and [he] hates everybody that’s successful. He’s stomping around in his pathetic homemade Nazi outfit. He’s nuts. I was going to send him one of my Tiffany boxes.”
The “Tiffany boxes” comment refers to one of Sharon’s previous actions where she sent out boxes of excrement to journalists who had been critical of her family.
But elaborating on her plan for Waters with Morgan, she stated, “Even that is a waste to send shit to him. It’s a waste because he’s really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don’t do that.”

What Have The Osbournes Previously Said About Roger Waters?
As mentioned earlier, Waters’ initial comments about Ozzy did not go unanswered. Jack Osbourne was the first to respond shortly after Waters’ thoughts on Ozzy made headlines last summer.
In a message shared through his Instagram, Jack Osbourne wrote, “Hey Roger Waters – fuck you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press. My father always thought you were a cunt – thanks for proving him right.”

Then, back in November, Jack, Kelly, and Sharon recorded a full episode of The Osbournes podcast discussing Ozzy’s death as a family for the first time. During that conversation, the Waters comments resurfaced again, with Sharon referring to him as “probably one of the most sick individuals I’ve come across in years.”
When Kelly called him a “cunt,” Sharon responded, “He isn’t because cunts are good. … He has no charisma. He looks like Frankenstein.” She continued, “The guy is sick in the head. He is not relevant in today’s world. Nobody likes him. It’s not just us. Nobody likes this man… unless you’re a fascist.”
She concluded by saying, “I don’t know how those guys in Pink Floyd put up with him as long as they did… David [Gilmour] is the most gracious, warm person you could ever meet,” before referring to Waters as “a sad, irrelevant, old, miserable human being – a miserable ugly human being.”
