Months before death, Ozzy Osbourne completed collaborations with Liquid Death Tea brands and a Jolie Beauty cosmetics firm, according to a Business Insider note.
Black Sabbath vocalist, who died on Tuesday, was associated in June with Liquid Death to create a product called “Infinitely recyclable Ozzy.” He drank 10 cans of the brand’s ice tea, leaving “DNA traces of his saliva” in the now precious metal, according to the company.
After the death of the musician, the coveted cans were exhausted on the Liquid Death website, and even one was sold on eBay for $ 4,655, according to the medium.

Ozzy also ventured into the world of makeup shortly before dying. On July 1, the British brand Jolie Beauty announced an exclusive collaboration. The limited collection included brushes, lipsticks and a cosmetiquera with a skull inspired by the rock icon, and was offered in presale for $ 553. The company’s executive director, based in Birmingham – the hometown of Osbourne – described the project as “an absolute honor.”
In the two thousands, Ozzy starred in the reality “The Osbournes” with his family, and then he had participated in unconventional associations. In 2003, for example, Chipotle granted him a celebrity card that offered free food for a year. In 2022, he was still the only one with that benefit for life.
In his last years, Osbourne faced health complications for Parkinson, but at the beginning of July he managed to meet Black Sabbath for a last concert in Birmingham.
