Ozzy Osbourne has been dealing with a number of health issues that had kept him from touring, but the icon is in no way ready to say goodbye to performing.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain, “I desire to get back on stage. I’m not ready to hang up my mic yet. That’s what I live for — to do shows…The best medication I can get is being in front of an audience, which is breaking my heart, to be honest. Absolutely.”

When asked by Piers Morgan if he’s not able to perform again, Ozzy quickly chimed in, “I will. Absolutely. I will be up there, I have to say that…I have to do it. That’s the only thing I’ve ever done in my life. That’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do. That’s the only thing I’ve felt confident about that I can do it…You have to have a goal, and if whenever the man upstairs wants to say it’s over, I’ve gotta keep on trying until I’ve exhausted every avenue.”
