Rock Legend's DNA Sample Is Being Sold for Way Less Than You Might Imagine
Rock Legend's DNA Sample Is Being Sold for Way Less Than You Might Imagine originally appeared on Parade.
is selling his DNA in a truly one-of-a-kind collaboration.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Black Sabbath rocker had partnered with cult-favorite water brand Liquid Death to become its latest celebrity ambassador, agreeing to participate in a project that hopes to see fans "clone" the English musician and media personality using his DNA sample "once technology and federal law permit" so that they can "enjoy him for hundreds of years to come."
While this brand deal may sound like something out of aBlack Mirror episode (or an extraordinarily late April Fools' Day joke), we can assure you it's as real as that KFC-flavored toothpaste we told you about not too long ago.

According to a June 17 announcement shared with Parade, the five-time Grammy winner drank 10 cans of Liquid Death Iced Tea and then had each can "sealed to preserve his DNA." Each of Liquid Death's "Ozzy DNA Cans" is stored in a lab-quality container signed by Osbourne, 76, himself.
As one may suspect, getting ahold of the legendary musician's DNA won't be easy. Parade is told that there are only 10 of these cans in existence, so fans will have to battle it out online for the chance to snag one. Each can will be sold for $450 exclusively via the official campaign website (we were shocked to learn they weren't going for more, though they could if they ever hit the resale market).
What fans do with the cans once they get them is up to them, though Osbourne did have one suggestion, sharing in a statement: "Clone me, you bastards."
This is the latest–but certainly boldest–collaboration launched by the water company recognized by its tallboy-style packaging. Previous releases include an unforgettable ad with Kylie Kelce, a soap bundle with Dr. Squatch, an exclusive Nixon watch design, Zero skate decks, and even a Metallica tour merch drop.

Machine Gun Kelly reveals daughter's name, gives shout-out to ex-fiancée Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly reveals daughter's name, gives shout-out to ex-fiancée Megan Fox Machine Gun Kelly is one smitten papa. The 35-year-old Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, who welcomed a daughter with ex-fiancée Megan Fox in March, revealed the baby's name in an Instagram post June 17. The post included an adorable video of Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, serenading the infant with an ukulele. "Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥," Kelly wrote. "Thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox." The "My Ex's Best Friend" singer announced Saga's birth in a March 27 Instagram post, which included a black-and-white clip of Kelly caressing the newborn's hand. "She's finally here!! our little celestial seed," he wrote at the time. 'She's finally here': Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly welcome first child Despite initial fan speculation that the baby's name was "Celestial Seed," Kelly debunked the rumor in a follow-up post on his Instagram Story. "Her mom is gonna tell you the name when we're ready," he'd written. Fox revealed the former couple was expecting in November 2024 on social media. Saga marks Fox's fourth child after having three children with actor and "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green. Kelly shares a daughter with his ex, Emma Cannon. The news of Fox's pregnancy came about a year after she shared that she and Kelly previously experienced pregnancy loss. "I've never been through anything like that before in my life," she told "Good Morning America" at the time. "I have three kids. So it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Fox and Kelly also became engaged in January 2022. But in an interview on "Call Her Daddy" in March 2024, Fox confirmed she and Kelly had called the engagement off, though at the time she wouldn't go into detail about their current relationship status. "I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se," she said. "What I can say is: That is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him no matter what." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Dodgers say Nezza is not banned from stadium for singing national anthem in Spanish
What started as a subtle act of protest has become national news. Three days after singer and social media personality Nezza performed a Spanish version of the national anthem at Dodger Stadium — despite being asked by a team employee to sing it in English — the performer further addressed the situation Tuesday in an interview with CNN. 'With everything that's been happening, I just felt like I needed to stand with my people and show them that I'm with them,' Nezza (whose full name is Vanessa Hernández) said on CNN's The Lead. 'I wanted to represent them that day.' Nezza's performance of the Spanish anthem — a version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' commissioned by the U.S. State Department in 1945 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt — became a viral story after she posted a video on TikTok of an unidentified Dodgers employee telling her beforehand that 'we are going to do the song in English today, so I'm not sure if that wasn't relayed.' Nezza proceeded to sing the Spanish version anyway; doing so on the same day thousands gathered downtown to protest President Trump and recent ICE raids around Los Angeles in the last two weeks. In email communications with the team leading up to her performance, Nezza said she asked if she could sing the anthem in both English and Spanish, but was told no because she would only have a 90-second window for her performance. Still, she said she arrived at the stadium 'fully thinking that I was welcome [to sing in Spanish], because nobody told me in that email thread, 'No, you can't.'' 'Had they told me you can't have any Spanish in there,' she added, 'I would have respectfully declined and not shown up on Saturday.' Instead, Nezza performed the anthem in Spanish prior to the Dodgers-Giants game, before posting two videos on TikTok explaining the situation that quickly went viral. On Sunday, a Dodgers official told The Times in a statement that she would be welcome back at the stadium. In Tuesday's CNN interview, Nezza said she was 'very shocked' to learn she was welcomed back at the ballpark, noting that '30 seconds after my performance, we actually received a call that said, 'Don't ever call us again. Don't ever email us again. The rest of your clients are never welcome here again.' So for me, that kind of feels like a ban.' The Dodgers, however, reaffirmed to CNN that there were 'no hard feelings' resulting from the situation. And a team spokesperson confirmed to The Times this week that, 'She is certainly welcome back at the stadium. She is not banned from the stadium.'
