**Travis Barker Owns a Can of Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA—Because of Course He Does**
In a twist of rock-and-roll-meets-sci-fi, **Travis Barker**, the iconic **Blink-182** drummer, revealed on Instagram Stories that he now owns one of the rarest and strangest collectibles in music history: a **can of Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA**.
On **June 26, 2025**, Barker, 49, casually dropped the news, posting a photo of a **Liquid Death iced tea can**—one of just **ten** in existence—each containing trace amounts of Osbourne’s saliva and, yes, **actual DNA**. The limited-edition cans were the result of a bizarre and brilliant collaboration between Osbourne and the popular canned beverage brand. Each \$450 can was lab-sealed after the Prince of Darkness took a sip, effectively preserving his genetic material. Ozzy, ever the showman, even joked in promotional materials that fans could “clone their own rock god.”
The cans, which originally held iced tea (not bat blood, disappointingly), are autographed and come with a certificate of authenticity. Only ten were made available to the public, instantly becoming some of the most sought-after and bizarre pieces of rock memorabilia in recent memory.
For Barker, a lifelong Osbourne fan and no stranger to unusual collections—from rare drum kits to vintage horror art—this acquisition fits perfectly into his offbeat persona. Known for his boundary-pushing style and love of all things edgy and unexpected, it’s no surprise he’d jump at the chance to own a literal piece of metal royalty.
Fans reacted with a mix of amusement and envy, with some jokingly asking when the cloning process would begin. Others simply nodded in approval: of *course* Travis Barker owns Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA. In the ever-evolving landscape of rock excess and absurdity, this might just be the most metal keepsake of
all time.
