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. [[nid:719177]]

Ozzy Osbourne is selling his DNA 'so fans can try to clone him' when he's gone
In a bizarre move ahead of his final gig, Ozzy Osbourne is selling his DNA to lucky fans for the small sum of $450 (£335). The Black Sabbath legend, who will return to Birmingham next month for his final ever show, has teamed up with drinks company Liquid Death for a limited edition deal. There are 10 cans of iced tea – which the Paranoid hitmaker has already consumed – up for grabs. The empty cans were re-sealed after Ozzy, 76, finished the drink, which hold his DNA 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 seems very pro-cloning as he quipped: 'Clone me, you b****rds.' This isn't The Prince of Darkness' first collab with the brand as he 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.' It seems Ozzy's sense of humour hasn't wavered amid his recent health struggles, which will perhaps see him chair-bound when he takes to the stage at Villa Park on July 5. Back to the Beginning will see Ozzy give a short solo performance before reuniting with Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time in 20 years. However, fans – and even Black Sabbath's Tony – have expressed concern for Ozzy's health on the night. Speaking to Music Week three weeks ahead of the show, Tony admitted: 'This would be a big, monumental thing if it all comes good. The worrying thing for me is the unknown. 'We don't know what's going to happen. Normally, when we'd tour, we'd rehearse and run through the thing for a while, and it's just us. But with this event there are so many other moving parts. 'You're used to Ozzy running around, but he certainly won't be doing that for this show. I don't know if he's going to be standing or sitting on a throne or what.' Last month, chatting on Ozzy Speaks, The Osbournes star revealed his blood pressure was being taken 15 times a day. Ozzy explained: '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'm giving it everything I've got. 'It's endurance. The first thing that goes when you're laid up is your stamina. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video '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.' The worrying updates come after Ozzy revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2020, and two years later he paused touring following extensive spinal surgery in 2023. More Trending Ozzy crashed a quad bike at his Buckinghamshire home in 2003, which required surgery and metal rods to be installed in his body. A fall in 2019 displaced metal rods inserted into his back from the crash, which he said caused more complications than Parkinson's itself. The one-off charity concert will feature performances from the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Mastodon, and many more. Proceeds will raise money for Cure Parkinson's, the Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice. Got a story?
