AceShowbiz - Top researchers have determined Ozzy Osbourne is an official genetic mutant.
The 70-year-old Black Sabbath rocker's blood was tested in 2010 by scientists at Massachusetts research company Knome in an attempt to discover how he had survived decades of drug and alcohol abuse, and DNA leader Bill Sullivan has concluded the star's resilience is due to a mutation after studying the lab results.
"Ozzy is indeed a genetic mutant," the Indiana University School of Medicine professor writes in his new book, "Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs and the Curious Forces that Make Us Who We Are".
Ozzy, who is now sober, has previously admitted to Rolling Stone his drug and alcohol abuse spanned 40 years.
He has not yet commented on Sullivan's analysis of his mutant DNA.
