Ozzy Osbourne gives fans a chance to buy his DNA
Along with traces of his saliva, each can includes his handwritten signature and is billed as a one-of-a-kind item.
A tongue-in-cheek promotional video shows the 76-year-old rocker swigging from the cans, crushing them with his bare hands, and placing them in sealed containers.
'There will never be another Ozzy Osbourne… unless you have his actual DNA,' the voiceover says. 'Introducing Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy.'
The video goes on to imagine a world where cloning Osbourne is a reality, featuring a spoof scene of a young Osbourne performing at a child's birthday party – before terrifying the kids by biting the head off a toy bat.
Fans were also quick to bite – with all 10 cans now officially sold out.

Ozzy Osbourne graces black throne during final live performance in hometown
BIRMINGHAM SAW WILDMAN rocker Ozzy Osbourne's final ever gig as the Black Sabbath frontman was greeted by thousands flocking to his hometown for a celebration of the heavy metal genre he helped to create. Millions followed the gig online after fans snapped up tickets for the show, starring the original line-up, in just 16 minutes. Osbourne (76) who revealed in 2020 that he has Parkinson's disease, sat upon a black throne for the duration of the performance. 'It's so good to be on this stage,' Osbourne told around 40,000 fans, 'You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.' The gig at Aston Villa Football Club's Villa Park stadium also featured sets by US rockers Metallica, Guns N'Roses, Tool and Slayer among others, as well as a short solo set by Osbourne. Advertisement Osbourne was joined by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the all-day 'Back To The Beginning' show in Birmingham, where the heavy metal giants formed in 1968. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, musical director for the concert, said prior to the gig that was planning 'to make it the greatest day, the most important day in the history of heavy metal music'. All profits from the show will go to charities including Cure Parkinson's and Birmingham Children's Hospital. 'Birmingham is a city which means so much to Ozzy.

Ozzy Osbourne bids farewell to Black Sabbath fans telling them 'it's so good to be on this stage'
Rock superstar Ozzy Osbourne bid farewell to fans with a Black Sabbath reunion in his final ever live performance. The Paranoid singer told thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts at Villa Park, Birmingham – a stone's throw from where Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 – that it was "so good to be on this stage" as he performed his last set from a large black throne. The War Pigs singer and his fellow original Black Sabbath members – Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward – were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert. Among the bands performing were Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N'Roses, and there were messages of thanks from other celebrities, including Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Dolly Parton. Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, intends to continue to record music, but said that the concert marked the end for him performing live. The 76-year-old, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, entered the stage for the final time by rising on his throne through a trap door. He started the performance by saying: "Let me hear you. Are you ready? Let the madness begin!" Later, he added: "It's so good to be on this f****** stage. You have no idea. I f****** love you all. Let me see your hands in the air. You are the best, each and every one of you. God bless you all." In an emotional moment, Ozzy said: "I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart. "You're all f****** special. Let's go crazy, come on." The rocker – who wore his signature black attire and thick eye makeup – sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I'm Coming Home. He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park. After a short break, he re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath – for the first time in 20 years – in a special reunion. The band performed some of their greatest hits to the adoration of the crowd, ending with a rendition of Paranoid for the ultimate send-off. Fans chanted "Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy" as the rock legend thanked and blew kisses to those in attendance, before departing in an emotional ending to cap off an illustrious career on stage. Video messages from celebrities made clear the impact both Osbourne and Black Sabbath have had on the music industry. In one of the messages before his performance, Sir Elton John told Osbourne: "You are one of the most remarkable singers of our time. "You are the king, you are the legend. "You've been through so much crap in the last few years – I hope this is the best day of your life so far." In his message, taken in the bath, Gervais quipped: "My everlasting memory of you will be from when we were on the Graham Norton Show together, and they had to stop the recording because we both needed a piss, so maybe have one before you go on stage tonight. Have a great one." Dozens of fans also sent in personal videos that were broadcast at the event, crediting Osbourne and Black Sabbath for inventing heavy metal and thanking them for their generational influence on music. Black Sabbath played in Ireland on two occassion in 1983 at Dalymount Park and again in 2017 at the 3Arena.
