Ozzy Osbourne Blood

According to CBS News, Ozzy Osbourne may help scientists understand how some people's bodies can endure "excessive substance abuse."

Osbourne, the former frontman for Black Sabbath and a notorious partier, will allow scientists to study his blood.

The Prince of Darkness, 61, battled alcohol and drug addictions for forty years and calls himself a "medical miracle."

Scientists hope that mapping Osbourne's genetic code will provide insight into why some--like Osbourne--can survive "excessive substance abuse."
