Does OZZY OSBOURNE's DNA Hold The Key To Surviving Drug Abuse?

Does OZZY OSBOURNE's DNA Hold The Key To Surviving Drug Abuse?

The Pulse of Radio reports that a Massachusetts-based research company called Knome will use a blood sample taken from Ozzy Osbourne to map out his genetic code and attempt to figure out how he has survived after years of abusing drugs and alcohol. According to the U.K.'s Sky News, Ozzy is one of the few people in the world who will have his entire genome analyzed. Researchers at Knome  hope that analyzing Ozzy's blood and DNA will give them insight into how drugs are absorbed in the body, and why some people can survive extreme substance abuse while others can't.

The company's director of research, Nathan Pearson, said, "Sequencing and analyzing individuals with extreme medical histories provides the greatest potential scientific value."

The testing will cost around $40,000 and is expected to take about three months to determine results.

Although he's sober now, Ozzy estimates that he took drugs and used alcohol for more than 40 years, according to Rolling Stone.

He also survived a 2003 bike accident in which he broke his neck and was diagnosed a few years back with a genetic disorder that is similar to Parkinson's Disease.

Ozzy recently started a new gig as a health columnist for England's Sunday Times. In the first installment of the column — which will be largely ghostwritten by his memoir co-writer, Chris Ayres — Ozzy admitted, "By all accounts, I'm a medical miracle. When I die, I should donate my body to the Natural History Museum."

Ozzy's new album, "Scream", arrives next Tuesday (June 22).

If you call Ozzy surviving, the journalist doesn't know shit. I would have rather flamed out at 30, then be a stuttering vegetable at 60.

Look at the Stones, who wants that?

Is there any evidence to suggest that Ozzy or any other rock star for that matter ever did anything really remarkable or over the top in terms of drug abuse?

I for one have known plenty of old-heads who "miraculously survived" decades of H_E_A_V_Y, religious hard drug&alcohol abuse, and were by no means rock stars :lol:

rockstars can usually afford to throw down a few MILLION a year on drugs, so uhh yah. they have the ability to use more than most people. one thing with them is they usually use in a safer way, since they can almost always afford more drugs they don't have to shoot dirty shit or suck aids infested cocks to get more drugs.
