Scientists are to map Ozzy Osbourne's genetic code in a bid to find out how he is still alive after decades of drug and alcohol abuse.
The former Black Sabbath frontman is only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analysed.
Now he may get some answers from US company Knome, which will use a blood sample to map his genome.
It is hoped the results from the £27,000 test, which takes three months, will provide information on how drugs are absorbed in the body

£27K ?, given the street value of Ozzie's blood he should get a refund. [:)]

What a hilarious story; I'd missed that one. I wonder if they'll uncover any bat DNA sequences when they process the samples...
