Ozzy Osbourne is selling empty cans containing his DNA for £335 ($450) - 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 the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Mastodon, and many more.

King Charles' indicates new royal family 'welcome' with move at Royal Ascot
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, made his first public appearance with his new girlfriend at the opening day of Royal Ascot, where King Charles and Queen Camilla warmly welcomed her into the Royal fold. The King and Queen led the procession into the Berkshire racecourse yesterday, marking the start of the five-day meet as they arrived in the royal carriage. Following closely behind were three additional carriages, carrying a select group of royals and their close associates. Among them was Peter Phillips and his girlfriend, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, who were in the third carriage to enter the racecourse. The couple have been together for over a year, but this marked their first royal engagement as a pair. READ MORE - Heartbreaking reason Prince Harry changed policy on 'sharing photos of children' READ MORE - Hero rescuers rush to Edinburgh beauty spot as group with dogs 'waist deep in water' After the procession, those in the carriages mingled on the race track before heading to the Royal suite, where Harriet was warmly received by Charles and Camilla. Harriet, 45, looked stunning in an ivory jacket and matching skirt, complemented by a woven hat. Peter, 47, adhered to the event's strict formal dress code in his suit and top hat, reports the Mirror. Rumours of Harriet and Peter's relationship surfaced weeks after Peter ended his three-year relationship with Lindsay Wallace. Despite their relationship still being relatively new, Harriet's invitation to the Royal procession suggests she has received the Royal seal of approval. The love-struck pair have been turning heads, appearing together at high-profile gatherings such as Wimbledon and Cheltenham Races, with their latest outing at the January's Badminton Horse Trials. Harriet has been fitting in splendidly with the royals—seen exchanging pleasantries with Princess Anne on Ascot's Royal suite balcony, while Zara Tindall lent a hand by adjusting Harriet's hat.

Yesterday marked the commencement of Royal Ascot with the traditional Royal procession before the day's racing began, where Charles and Camilla looked on, their spirits dampened as their entry, Reaching High, finished in a disappointing ninth. Avid racing enthusiasts Charles and Camilla shared in the official Royal Ascot programme: "Having experienced the thrill of victory at Royal Ascot ourselves in 2023, we can only wish all those competing this week the very best of luck and that everyone watching has a most enjoyable five days." The late Queen Elizabeth II's dedication to racing saw her thunder to victory with over 20 Royal Ascot champions throughout her reign. Taking up her prestigious mantle, Charles and Camilla celebrated their initial Royal Ascot triumph in 2023 when Desert Hero galloped to success in the King George V Stakes. Royal Ascot's prestigious legacy dates back to the early 18th century when Queen Anne identified East Cote as a perfect spot for "horses to gallop at full stretch" during a ride. The inaugural Her Majesty's Plate, welcoming horses aged six and above, was held on August 11th, 1711, setting the stage for Royal Ascot's expansion, with this year celebrating the bicentenary of the Royal procession initiated in George IV's era in 1825.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh branded 'secret weapon' as she steps up in Royal Family
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh branded 'secret weapon' as she steps up in Royal Family Although the majority of her charitable work has gone unreported, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh is becoming an increasingly valuable asset to The Firm Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh is seen as having vital importance in the coming years (Image: WPA Pool, Getty Images ) Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh's affectionate two-word moniker has been unveiled, as she is predicted to take on a more prominent role within the Royal Family. The wife of Prince Edward for over 26 years, Sophie has dedicated much of her Royal life to charitable endeavours, particularly in the realm of women's rights. However, her efforts have often gone unnoticed, with limited public recognition of her extensive work. Arthur Edwards, a seasoned photographer who has documented Royal events for nearly fifty years, shared with The Sun's Royal podcast that while Sophie is "a joy to photograph," her contributions rarely make headlines. Prince Edward and his wife are seen as an increasingly important asset to the Royal Family (Image: Pool, Getty Images ) Given the King's recent health concerns and Prince William's children being at present too young to undertake the rigorous demands of Royal duties, some believe that Sophie and Edward could offer valuable support to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Sun's Royal editor Matt Wilkinson highlighted how Sophie has always been referred to as the royals' "secret weapon", pondering: "I'm just wondering whether the kind of House of Edinburgh could replace the House of Sussex at some stage." Article continues below ITV Royal correspondent Chris Ship agreed, suggesting: "I think they could be an additional resource for Buckingham Palace." Sophie was created Duchess of Edinburgh on her husband's 59th birthday, 10 March 2023 (Image: WPA Pool, Getty Images ) Chris added that while the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh aren't exactly "sparing chickens" they provide a sense of continuity, representing a generation "in between William and Kate and and the King and Queen". Royal commentator Arthur Edwards suggested that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie might take on more official roles to bolster the slim ranks of the Royal Family's working members. Arthur also raised concerns about the limited media attention given to the couple's engagements, stating: "For some reason, newspapers and TV don't publish [the photos], they don't run the stories. They don't go to India when she goes to India, they don't go to Mali and these places where she goes. It just seems that all the good work she does goes unreported." Some experts think Sophie and Edward could provide much-needed backup for the Prince and Princess of Wales in future (Image: JANE BARLOW, POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) Palace insider Chris highlighted shortcomings with the Palace's communication strategy when it comes to Sophie's royal engagements, saying: "Often, they don't tell us in advance where she's going and only tell us when she's already got there – which doesn't help when you've got to dispatch cameras halfway around the world." While Sophie's children, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and her younger brother James, Earl of Wessex, have not indicated a desire to undertake full-time Royal duties, royal-watchers have started viewing Lady Louise as an emerging asset for the family. The Countess of Wessex, at 60-years-old, remains active with over 70 patronages, including Childline and the London College of Fashion, and regularly attends upwards of 200 engagements annually, encompassing a wide range of visits from educational institutions to military bases. Article continues below Indeed, with Harry and Meghan having stepped back, and both His Majesty the King and the Princess of Wales needing to pay extra attention to their health, there's a pressing need to bolster the Royal Family's leading figures, and this could be Sophie's moment in the spotlight.
