Ozzy Osbourne selling cans containing his DNA for fans to try cloning him, Entertainment News
Ozzy Osbourne is selling empty cans containing his DNA for £335 (S$580) — so fans can "try to clone" the music legend.
The Prince of Darkness has teamed up with Liquid Death, whose tagline is "murder your thirst", on the bizarre product dubbed Infinite Ozzy.
The 10 empty cans Ozzy drank from — and has signed — were re-sealed with the rocker's DNA sealed inside.
Liquid Death's PR team said: "Once technology and federal law permit, fans can use this DNA to try to clone Ozzy in the future and enjoy him for hundreds of years to come."
Ozzy — who will bow out with one last performance at Black Sabbath's Back To The Beginning charity concert at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5 — quipped: "Clone me, you bastards."
The 76-year-old Paranoid hitmaker previously starred in an ad for Liquid Death's Death Dust electrolyte drink mix.
He joked in the clip: "Whatever you do, don't try freebasing it and never ever inject it. And don't even think about boofing it, you little perverts."
From overdoses to biting the head off a bat to jumping out of a hotel window, and his Parkinson's and spinal injuries, Ozzy has defied death countless times over the years.
Ozzy's preparation for the show includes rigorous training.
Speaking on his Ozzy Speaks podcast on SiriusXM recently, he said: "I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me.
"I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day. I've got this f***ing device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is."
Ozzy also admitted he is still uncertain whether he will perform standing up or seated, following multiple spinal surgeries related to a 2003 quad bike accident at his Buckinghamshire home.
A fall in 2019 displaced metal rods inserted into his back from the crash, which he said caused more complications than Parkinson's itself.
Ozzy was diagnosed with a mild form of Parkinson's in 2003 and delayed going public with his news until 2020.
Back To The Beginning will feature performances from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Mastodon and many more.

Ozzy Osbourne suffering 'badly' from ADHD, Entertainment News
Ozzy Osbourne is suffering "badly" from ADHD. The 76-year-old rocker is set to reunite with Black Sabbath on July 5 in Birmingham for the Back to the Beginning concert, which is set to be his final show after he was struck by a series of health issues, and he has now admitted the impact of preparing for the gig. He told the Ozzy Speaks podcast on SiriusXM: "All I can say is I'm giving 120 per cent. If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it." The performance at Villa Park marks Ozzy's first live appearance since 2018 and follows a series of health setbacks, including his 2020 public disclosure of a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. He added on his podcast about the mental toll of preparing to return to the stage: "My head's crazy. ADHD — I have that badly. I will have done the show and died a death before I even started my exercises. "So I try and put it on the back burner. I'm not going up there saying, 'It's going to be great. I'm really confident.'" Ozzy recalled a specific instance of intense fear before a previous show, saying: "I remember being in f-ing Vegas one time being in the dressing room going, 'I'm going to play. I'm going to die'. And I talked myself into blowing the gig. It was only two f-ing songs." Referring to his wife, he added: "Sharon goes, 'Just don't think about it.' I obsess about a f-ing bird c******* on my show." His wife, Sharon Osbourne, 71, has spoken candidly about his condition. Speaking to The Sun, she said: "He's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this. Parkinson's is a progressive disease… it's affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it's ever been." Ozzy's preparation for the show includes rigorous training. He said: "I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. "I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day. I've got this f****** device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is."

Ozzy Osbourne feared his health problems were 'never going to end', Entertainment News
Ozzy Osbourne feared his health problems were "never going to end". The Paranoid hitmaker - who has battled pneumonia and a lingering infection in recent years, had neck and spinal issues, which were exacerbated by a 2019 fall, as well as Parkinson's disease - is preparing for Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham, England, this summer and he admitted the all-star gig was conceived by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, so that he had "something to give [him] a reason to get up in the morning". He added to The Guardian newspaper: "You wake up the next morning and find that something else has gone wrong. You begin to think this is never going to end." The 76-year-old rocker has thrown himself into preparing for the 'Back To The Beginning' show at Villa Park on July 5, and has a trainer living with him to get him back to fitness, while a vocal coach visits several times a week. He said: "I do weights, bike riding, I've got a guy living at my house who's working with me. It's tough - I've been laid up for such a long time. I've been lying on my back doing nothing and the first thing to go is your strength. It's like starting all over again. I've got a vocal coach coming round four days a week to keep my voice going. I have problems walking. I also get blood pressure issues, from blood clots on my legs." Ozzy warned fans not to expect the sort of energetic performance he'd have undertaken in previous years. He added: "I'm used to doing two hours on stage, jumping and running around. I don't think I'll be doing much jumping or running around this time. I may be sitting down." But the veteran musician is determined to do his best. He said: "I'll be there, and I'll do the best I can. So all I can do is turn up... [[nid:652214]] "We're only playing a couple of songs each. I don't want people thinking 'we're getting ripped off', because it's just going to be … what's the word? … a sample, you're going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath."
