OZZY Osbourne is selling his DNA to fans for £335, telling fans to ‘consume’ him ahead of his final live performance.
Black Sabbath singer Ozzy, 76, has teamed up with drinks brand Liquid Death to release ten cans of iced tea that he drank from, which have since been resealed and now contain traces of his DNA.

He is due to return to Birmingham next month for a farewell show at Villa Park.
The gig, titled Back to the Beginning, will see Ozzy perform a short solo set before reuniting with bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time in two decades.
Fans who get their hands on one of the DNA-containing cans are free to use it however they like – keep it as a collectible, consume what remains, or even attempt to clone him in future.
A spokesperson for Liquid Death 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 appears to be on board with the idea, joking: “Clone me, you b****rds.”
This isn’t his first collaboration with the brand.
He previously fronted an ad campaign for Liquid Death’s Death Dust electrolyte mix, warning viewers: “Whatever you do, don’t try freebasing it and never ever inject it.
“And don’t even think about boofing it, you little perverts.”
Earlier this year, it was revealed Ozzy can no longer walk due to his Parkinson’s disease.
In an exclusive interview with Bizarre, his wife and manager Sharon said: “He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this.
“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilise. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs.
“But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
Black Sabbath have sold more than 75million records since forming in 1968, while Ozzy has also released 13 solo albums.
Profits from the gig are being shared between Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and the Acorn Children’s Hospice.
It will reunite the original Black Sabbath line-up — Ozzy, Tony, bass player Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward — for the first time in 20 years.
