Ozzy Osbourne urges fans to clone him as he sells his DNA

Empty cans of iced tea containing Ozzy Osbourne's DNA have gone on sale for £335 ($450).

The move has sparked hopes the Black Sabbath frontman could be cloned in the future, with the limited edition cans, called Infinite Ozzy, already believed to have sold out.

Beverage business Liquid Death confirmed a deal had been made with the music icon.

"Ozzy Osbourne is 1 of 1," the company said in a statement. "But we're selling his actual DNA so you can recycle him forever."

In an advert to promote the product, the 76-year-old rocker is featured drinking from the cans before crushing them with his hands. The cans are then placed in a sealed container.

"There will never be another Ozzy Osbourne, unless you have his actual DNA," the accompanying voiceover explained. "These cans of low calorie iced tea with B vitamins have each been drunk by Ozzy himself. Each can contains trace DNA from Ozzy's saliva, as well as his handwritten signature."

The voiceover continued, "Just imagine if you can bring back early eighties Ozzy. He could mow your lawn, perform at kid's birthday parties, or anything you want."

Liquid Death has claimed there were just 10 cans available to purchase.

The advert ends with the message: "Now once technology and federal law permits , you can replicate Ozzy and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future."

Commenting on the new product, Ozzy told fans: "Clone me, you b******ds."

The star is currently preparing to reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell show, titled Back to the Beginning, scheduled to take place in Birmingham on 5th July.

Fans are hoping Ozzy will be able to walk on stage after undergoing months of physical therapy ahead of the show.
