Roger Waters Considers Leaving the US, Criticizes Trump and defends Comments on Ozzy Osbourne
Roger Waters, the co-founder of Pink Floyd, is considering leaving the United States due to concerns about the political climate and the potential for danger under the Trump administration. He stated in a recent interview that he may move to Portugal or “some of the islands in the Caribbean.”
The musician expressed fears that his residency in the US could be jeopardized, saying, “It may well be that Donald and his cabal will make that decision for me because he is pretty erratic.” He cited the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed on January 7, 2024, by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as a contributing factor to his concerns.
Good, a 38-year-old prize-winning poet, mother of three, and wife, was killed during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation. she was a volunteer with a network monitoring ICE activity in Minneapolis and was shot while in her car by a federal agent. The agent,identified as Jamal Mitchell,claimed self-defense,stating Good had pointed a handgun at him. This claim is currently under investigation.Trump and some of his supporters have defended the agent’s actions.
Waters responded to the incident by stating, “He could send masked men around to shoot me in the head through my car window like he does to people who disagree with him. We live in a really risky, totally effed up world.”
the interview also addressed Waters’ recent controversial comments about Ozzy Osbourne, who died on February 9, 2024, at the age of 76. Waters had previously criticized Osbourne’s music and television persona, calling him “idiotic” and expressing disinterest in Black Sabbath. he stated, “He was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense… I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did, I have no interest in biting the heads off chickens or whatever thay do. I couldn’t care less.”
These comments prompted a strong rebuke from Jack Osbourne, who publicly called Waters “pathetic and out of touch” on social media, adding, “My father always thoght you were a c*nt – thanks for proving him right.”
