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.
Ozzy Osbourne announces final Black Sabbath gig as band reunite for 'greatest heavy metal show ever' with HUGE line up
'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.

Kelly Osbourne says she has lost her 'best friend' after passing of Ozzy Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne said she has lost her 'best friend' following the death of her father, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. The rock legend was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died at the age of 76 on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family. In a heartfelt message posted to her Instagram stories on Thursday, Kelly shared lyrics from the Black Sabbath song Changes, a track she famously re-recorded with her father. 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had,' she wrote next to an emoji of a broken heart. Released in 2003, their reimagined duet hit number one on the UK Singles chart. The duo became only the second father-daughter act to top the chart, following Nancy and Frank Sinatra in 1967. Osbourne's death came a few weeks after he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on July 5 to play a farewell gig at Villa Park – a stone's throw from where the band was formed in 1968. After the live performance, Osbourne and his wife Sharon celebrated Kelly's engagement with her long-term partner Sid Wilson, a member of the heavy metal band Slipknot. The day after the gig, Kelly thanked her father's fans for attending his last live performance. She wrote on Instagram: 'To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement! 'Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad. Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! 'My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and goodbye in the most beautiful way!' Other stars have also honoured the 'Prince of Darkness' by paying tribute to him during live concert performances, including Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Alice Cooper, who praised him for performing until he 'couldn't do it any more'.

Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to 'best friend' after dad Ozzy's death
Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence two days after the death of her father, Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday July 22 at the age of 76. Kelly Osbourne has spoken out following the heartrending loss of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, earlier this week. The Black Sabbath icon, affectionately dubbed The Prince of Darkness by legions of fans, had faced health challenges in recent years and performed his last concert mere weeks before his passing. Ozzy passed away at the age of 76 on Tuesday July 22, leaving behind a bereft Sharon who is mourning not just her husband but also her best friend. Ozzy's sisters have expressed their sorrow, remembering him as "loving and funny", reports the Mirror. The Osbourne family released a poignant statement: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." His former bandmates from Black Sabbath have shared touching tributes as well. Two days after the news of Ozzy's death at 76, Kelly posted an excerpt from the Black Sabbath track "Changes" to her Instagram Stories, a moving homage that echoes a cherished memory between father and daughter. "Changes," penned by Ozzy Osbourne and his bandmates, was originally released by Black Sabbath in 1972. In a touching father-daughter collaboration, Ozzy and Kelly re-recorded the song with updated lyrics in 2003, reflecting their relationship. The duet soared to No. 1 in the UK charts, making them only the second father-daughter duo to achieve this feat since Frank and Nancy Sinatra in 1967. Kelly recently took to Instagram to express her profound sorrow, posting: "I feel unhappy I am so sad," on Thursday, July 24. "I lost the best friend I ever had." Devastated fans have been paying their respects at his Buckinghamshire residence, leaving flowers and heartfelt notes at the gates. Mourners have also placed half-finished pints and beer bottles by candles on Birmingham's Black Sabbath bridge as a tribute to the rock legend. A confidant disclosed to People magazine details of Ozzy's final days, stating, "Ozzy's final days were spent in England, surrounded by family, music and in the place he called home. He was in peace." In 2020, Ozzy Osbourne revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis and credited his daughter Kelly for her support during his health struggles. Reflecting on the period following his diagnosis, Kelly remarked: "We just kept going everyday and the magic that happens, I think, when you're in pain ..." Ozzy, gesturing towards his youngest daughter, interjected: "She's the one! If it wasn't for her I'd be still lying up on the couch." Kelly remarked: "The only thing I know when it comes to my dad is what can I do to make him smile and I know that going to the studio makes him happy. So I got him up and got him to the studio, and that's all I did. Everything else was him."

Carmen, 53, has yet to contact her mate Sharon directly but has passed on her sympathies via makeup artist Jude Alcalá. She continued: "I haven't spoken to anyone yet. Yeah. It felt weird calling right now. I just decided to step back. So, Jude's been he's been doing Sharon and Ozzy for over 25 years. "So, we were on the phone and I was just like, 'Please send them my love.'" Since news broke of Ozzy's passing, musicians from across the heavy metal community, celebrities, media outlets and devoted fans have demonstrated an overwhelming outpouring of affection and admiration for the Bark At The Moon legend.

Tony, 77, revealed to ITV News: "I think he really just held out to do that show. I really feel – and me and Geezer (Butler) were talking about it – that we think he held out to do it, and just after that, he's done it and said goodbye to the fans. And that was the end of it, really. "I think he must have had something in his head that said, 'Well, this is gonna be it, the last thing I'm ever gonna do.' Whether he thought he was gonna die or what, I don't know. But he really wanted to do it, and he was determined to do it. And fair dues, he's done it." Despite Ozzy's deteriorating condition, Tony confesses that his bandmate's death remained a "shock for us". He further stated: "When I heard, it couldn't sink in. I thought, 'It can't be.' I only had a text from him the day before. It just seemed unreal, surreal. And in the night, I started thinking about it, 'God, am I dreaming all this?' But as I said before, he's not looked well through the rehearsals."
