Ozzy Osbourne’s official store has unveiled a new limited-edition T-shirt taking a direct shot at PINK FLOYD co-founder Roger Waters — and it’s already turning heads across the rock world.
The shirt features a two-sided design. On the front, the words “OZZY RULES” are stamped over a Roger Waters The Wall-style image. The back ramps things up further, showing Ozzy Osbourne urinating a rainbow-colored stream — a parody of PINK FLOYD’s The Dark Side of the Moon prism — onto The Wall album cover, accompanied by the caption: “Another Pr*ck in the Wall.”
The T-shirt is priced at £30 (approximately $40 USD) and is available for only 48 hours through Ozzy’s official online store.
This new merch drop arrives in direct response to comments Roger Waters made shortly after Ozzy’s death in July. During a conversation with The Independent Ink YouTube channel, Waters dismissed Ozzy’s career and legacy, saying: “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever 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. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f**k.
“I don’t care about BLACK SABBATH, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”
The remarks sparked immediate backlash from the Osbourne family. Jack Osbourne fired back on Instagram, writing: “Hey Roger Waters, f**k you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. My father always thought you were a c**t. Thanks for proving him right.”
Tensions escalated even further on Wednesday, November 12th, when Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne tore into Waters during the emotional first episode of The Osbournes podcast following Ozzy’s passing. Sharon didn’t hold back: “One of the most twisted, sick individuals I’ve come across in years… sick in the head.”
“He’s just a bad seed, a bad, irrelevant, bad seed, and in his late years, he’s trying to remain relevant.”
She continued: “The guy’s got nothing good in him. He’s just a pathetic, lonely… I do not 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. He’s just a great, great guy. How on earth did he manage to work alongside him?”
Jack echoed the sentiment, criticizing Waters for choosing to insult Ozzy instead of offering a simple acknowledgment of his passing: “All he would have had to say was, ‘I didn’t really know Ozzy’s music very well. It’s sad for his family.’ That’s all he had to say! You keep it simple; you keep it clean. You don’t punch down like he did.”
