Ozzy Osbourne Sold Cans of His DNA Just Before His Death originally appeared on Parade.
Ozzy Osbourne sold cans with his DNA on it only a month before his death at the age of 76.
In collaboration with drink company Liquid Death, the legendary rocker sold ten cans of “Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy” for $450 each in June.
“Yes, we really got the Prince of Darkness to drink from 10 cans of our low-calorie Iced Tea. And yes, he actually crushed each can himself. In the process, he left behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own. He even hand-signed each packaging label.” the product’s description read.
“Now, when technology and federal law permits, you’ll be able to replicate Ozzy Osbourne and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future. Only 10 available to buy,” it continued. “DNA integrity and cloning results not guaranteed.”
What the lucky 10 do with the cans is up to them, though Osbourne did have one suggestion before he passed, sharing in a statement: “Clone me, you bastards.”
One of the buyers was revealed to be Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who performed with Black Sabbath during their farewell tour and was a longtime fan of Osbourne.
Barker announced the news by sharing a picture of his “Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy” can on his Instagram stories last month.
Though Osbourne encouraged his fans to clone him after his death, Liquid Death maintains on their website that Osbourne is “1 of 1” but that they were selling his DNA to “recycle him forever.”
