The former Black Sabbath frontman is only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analysed.
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.
Ozzy, 61, has lived a life that would presumably kill any ordinary person.
Even the singer himself cannot understand how he has survived this long, recently describing himself as a "medical miracle" after going on a "bender" for "40 years".
He has admitted drinking four bottles of cognac a day at one point, "blacking out, coming to again and carrying on".
Ya, I want to know his secrets too!

I'm guessing the 4 bottles of cognac is nothing compared to his daily intake of cocaine in his heyday. :eek:

if we really want secrets we need to sequence Keith Richards...
