The ultra-limited release, dubbed Infinite Ozzy, features 10 cans of Liquid Death Iced Tea that were each consumed by Osbourne before being sealed to preserve his DNA, with each can coming in a lab-quality display container and is hand-signed by the rock legend. The drop will go live Tuesday (June 17) at liquiddeath.com/ozzy, with each DNA can priced at $450.
The campaign arrives just weeks before Osbourne is set to return to the stage for what's being billed as the final Black Sabbath show. The metal icon recently revealed that he's undergoing intense training to prepare for Back to the Beginning, the massive July 5 hometown concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, England — his first full performance since 2018.
'I haven't done any physical work for the last seven, six and a half, seven years,' Osbourne shared during the latest episode of his SiriusXM show Ozzy Speaks. 'By hook or by crook, I'm gonna make it [to the stage at Villa Park].' The star-studded farewell show is set to feature appearances by Metallica, Mastodon, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, Gojira, Alice in Chains, and a supergroup composed of members of Guns N' Roses, Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine and more.
'I've got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal,' he added. 'It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. I'm giving it everything I've got.'
As for the Liquid Death collab, the brand says the goal is to preserve Osbourne's DNA in case fans want to clone him in the future, once technology and law allow. The campaign leans heavily into Liquid Death's signature over-the-top style, which previously included Tony Hawk skateboards infused with his blood.
A teaser video shared with press ahead of the launch shows Osbourne deadpanning: 'My DNA is in this can. You could clone me — but why the f**k would you want to?' Only 10 Infinite Ozzy cans exist.
Osbourne's most recent studio album, Patient Number 9, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2022. Despite major health setbacks, including spinal surgeries and a Parkinson's diagnosis, he has remained creatively active and continues to embrace his role as heavy metal's most enduring provocateur.

Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play Trnsmt's last day as heatwave continues
Snow Patrol will headline Scotland's biggest music festival on Sunday as the three-day event comes to a close. The sweltering heat is set to continue with Trnsmt gig-goers facing temperatures of around 26C on the last day. Those attending Glasgow Green will hear from Gracie Abrams, Jade, Myles Smith and Tom Walker, among others. Indie artist Jake Bugg told the PA news agency on Saturday that Scottish crowds 'have always been great', adding: 'I've always enjoyed every gig I've played here (Glasgow).' Dylan McNish, 22, attended the festival with his dad, Duncan, 49, from Corby, to see Fontaines DC, the penultimate act on Saturday. Gracie Abrams performs at Glastonbury (Image: Yui Mok) Speaking at their first festival together, Dylan said: 'I'm not coping with the heat so well. 'But the atmosphere has been great. We are seeing Inhaler. We are buzzing for Underworld. Thumbs up so far.' Fontaines DC played to an energetic crowd in the evening, with some of the biggest cheers being 'free Palestine' chants. Biffy Clyro headlined the night before tens of thousands of fans left Glasgow Green for home. Aimie Race, 47, who took her daughter to her first festival, said she 'could not have asked for better weather'. 'It's been really nice here. Everyone is really friendly. Everyone has desperately been looking out for shady spots but we are enjoying the sunshine.' Beth Ballantyne, 21, said she passed out on Friday due to the heat, but pledged to persevere, describing TRMSMT as '10 out of 10'. Daniel Clare, an 18-year-old who travelled from Dublin with his two friends, said he was disappointed that Kneecap was removed from the festival. He urged people to 'drink water and have a good time' amid the sweltering heat.

He described 50 Cent's set as 'nine out 10' and said he would have given it a 10 if he didn't lose his friends for the rapper's set. His friend Carson Smith, also 16, was more impressed, giving the Friday a 'banging 10 out of 10'. 'The sun's out,' he said, 'That's all that matters.' Ashleigh Willmot, 29, travelled from Essex to see Biffy Clyro – a band she had never seen before Saturday. 'I was expecting it to be raining, so I'm underprepared, but I'm loving it – it's amazing,' she said. 'Everyone is super chill here. Everyone is doing their own thing – it's great. 'Everyone is happy. It's really good, the buzz.' Biffy Clyro headlined on Saturday night (Image: LESLEY MARTIN) Police Scotland said it made six arrests on Friday around Glasgow Green, including a hate crime charge. Police had a visible presence throughout the festival, and more arrests are expected to be made as it comes to a close. Scottish singer Amy Macdonald played a secret set on the second day of the festival, although many fans of Wunderhorse were left disappointed after the band dropped out due to illness, with singer Miles Kane replacing them. Norwegian artist Sigrid also took to the main stage on Saturday, donning a tartan Trnsmt top. She told the PA news agency it was one of the hottest shows she had ever done, but said it was 'really fun'. However, she admitted to not 'feeling very well' amid the hot afternoon sun during her set. Those attending Sunday have been urged to seek the shade, wear hats and put on sunscreen as the sunny weather continues. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde also urged music fans to drink plenty of water during the heat.

Rory McIlroy Credits Wife Erica Stoll For Scottish Open Performance
Rory McIlroy Credits Wife Erica Stoll For Scottish Open Performance originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rory McIlroy is showing signs of his Masters winning form at the Scottish Open this weekend. After completing the Grand Slam in April, he fell into a drought with consecutive underperformances in several events. Advertisement The World No. 2 claimed the top spot on the leaderboard after the third round, with a score of 11-under par. Fans on the course loved seeing his renewed form, one that McIlroy attributes to the time he spent with his wife, Erica Soll. "It's my first realistic chance to win after the Masters, and I've had a great season. I won at Pebble. I won PLAYERS." McIlroy said on Saturday. "I think I just needed that little bit of time. And to be back here for last couple weeks, and feel like I could actually digest all of it. I feel like I came to this tournament with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for the rest of the year." Rory McIlroy kisses his daughter Poppy on the forehead as his wife Erica Stoll watches.© Doug Engle-USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images "That" time he refers to was spent with Erica at his new home, the Wentworth Estate, where he invested approximately $12 million for renovation. Advertisement "We came back a few weeks ago and moved into our new home in Wentworth and have been trying to settle in. It's amazing what two weeks of a bit of detachment can do for you," he detailed earlier this week. "Sitting there being with your own thoughts for a while. Yeah, it's been nice to have this time to reflect and also to rekindle my excitement and enthusiasm for the rest of the year. Obviously, we have this week in Scotland and then a massive week next week in Portrush." Back in May 2024, divorce rumors arose surrounding the couple. Fans speculated that these personal problems were the reason behind his poor performance and shaky mental state in the PGA Championship and later events. Advertisement But the couple worked their issues out and now Erica is back to supporting McIlroy.
