First there was Craig Venter. Then came James Watson. And now: Ozzy Osbourne.

The Black Sabbath singer, reality television star and Sunday Times of London health columnist is reportedly paying to have his genome sequenced, according to the MIT Tech Review.

The Prince of Darkness is one of the first paying customers planning to have his genome decoded by Knome, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup that charges around $19,000 for full exome sequencing and close to $70,000 for the whole kit and caboodle.

Knome’s director of research Nathaniel Pearson said that Osbourne’s sequence could offer new insights into the rocker’s notoriously hedonistic lifestyle if, for instance, the company pinpoints genes associated with liver detoxification.
