Ozzy Osbourne's DNA Up For Grabs?! Travis Barker's Shocking Confession!
Colaboradores
Rock and roll just got a whole lot weirder! Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, has teamed up with Liquid Death, a beverage company known for its edgy marketing, to offer fans a truly unique collectible: cans containing his DNA. Yes, you read that right. Actual Ozzy Osbourne DNA.
Ozzy's DNA: A Collector's Item?
The collaboration involved Ozzy drinking 10 cans of Liquid Death Iced Tea, after which the cans were sealed and autographed, preserving traces of his saliva – and therefore, his DNA. These "Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy" cans were then sold on Liquid Death's website for a cool $450 each, promising fans the (perhaps tongue-in-cheek) opportunity to clone Ozzy in the future, once technology and laws allow.
And the demand was, predictably, through the roof. "Clone me, you bastards," Osbourne quipped in a statement released with the announcement, embracing the absurdity of the project.
Travis Barker Joins the Fun
Adding another layer to this bizarre story, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker recently revealed on his Instagram Stories that he owns one of these coveted Ozzy DNA cans. Barker, a longtime Ozzy fan, proudly displayed his unique collectible, further fueling the buzz around this unusual collaboration.
Liquid Death's History of Bizarre Collaborations
This isn't Liquid Death's first foray into the strange and unusual. In 2021, they partnered with skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, incorporating his blood into the paint used on limited-edition skateboards. They've also released a collectible enema kit with Travis Barker. It seems pushing boundaries is part of their brand identity.
While the idea of cloning Ozzy Osbourne might seem far-fetched, the collaboration highlights the intersection of celebrity culture, biotechnology, and marketing ingenuity. Whether it's a clever publicity stunt or a genuine opportunity for future Ozzys remains to be seen. One thing is certain: it’s got everyone talking.
Ozzy Osbourne is scheduled to perform his final concert in Birmingham, England. The event, titled Back to the Beginning, will feature a mini-solo set and a reunion with Black Sabbath. Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Tool, Anthrax, and Alice In Chains are also scheduled to perform.
