Roger Waters has doubled down on his criticism of Ozzy Osbourne, stating that he doesn’t regret the comments he made and adding that he “was honest.”

In September 2025, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters made derogatory comments about Ozzy Osbourne, who had passed away just two months prior, on July 22. The Osbourne family swiftly responded uniquely.

The official Ozzy Osbourne merch store created an exclusive, 48-hour sale of a shirt featuring Ozzy urinating on Pink Floyd’s famous wall, and the announcement was accompanied by an audio clip of Sharon slamming Roger Waters, stating that he “looks like Frankenstein.”

Roger Waters Doesn’t Deny What He Said About Ozzy Osbourne

In an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Waters addressed the criticism he received from the Osbourne family. He began by making it clear that he doesn’t deny that he said what was reported (transcribed by Heavy Consequence):

“Those comments, I’m not denying that I said them, came in the middle of a long interview. Do I have to like every rock group there ever was in the world or people who bite the heads off bats?”

Roger Waters Wouldn’t Talk to Sharon Osbourne, Open to Conversation With Ozzy’s Son Jack

Further, Piers Morgan pressed Waters on the matter of a potential apology to the Osbourne family and whether he thought he owed it. Waters stated he would “certainly not” give it to Sharon, but had a softer stance toward Jack Osbourne:

“If Jack, if he wants to have a chat, I’ll have a chat, and I won’t be nasty to him. Well, I’m, you know, yeah, I’m sorry you lost your dad, Jack, but this is like, you have conversations about things and about people, what do you think?”

“Well, not a lot. I was honest. I said I didn’t like Black Sabbath… I don’t like people who bite the heads off bats. I just don’t. I think it’s disgusting, and I’ve said that again now.”

“I know he’s dead, and he can’t come back and go, ‘Yeah, I’m sorry I bit the heads off bats,’ if he ever did. Who knows whether he did or not? I don’t want to talk about it.’”

Roger Waters Says He Has No Regrets

Waters ended by stating he was unapologetic about the entire affair and, on a wider scale, that he had almost no regrets in his life:

“I regret nothing in life, except that I haven’t been more successful in getting people to understand that we as a human race recognize and empathize with all of our brothers and sisters all over the world and make certain that they have equal human rights one with another under international law.”
