Ozzy Osbourne determined to get back on stage: 'I wasn't ready to throw the towel in when I did'

There’s no taming the beast within rocker Ozzy Osbourne , now 75 years old and just as eager as ever to return to the stage despite a number of recent health scares.

Speaking with host Billy Morrison on the latest episode of Ozzy Speaks , Ozzy said he’s still got some fight left in him, with plans to try his hand at scoring an Oscar, and more importantly, "do a f***ing gig without falling over."

Updating fans once again on his path to recovery, Osbourne revealed, "I've just come back from the doctor after having some stem cells put in me. The thing is,” he continued, “you have it, and you go, ‘I don't feel that great,’ but I don't know what it would be like if I didn't have it." This latest visit, he added, was a follow-up, saying also that the treatment “is a real business show," and is due for another treatment before the end of the year.

Asked about his legacy, he replied he simply wants to give somebody “a smile on their face one day,” adding, "I hope I've made -- I mean, people think I'm a jerk -- I've made a difference."

At the moment, Ozzy’s not exactly smiling himself when looking back on his career, mainly because he believes it’s not over yet. “I want to still carry on, you know? I can't redo what I've done, but I wasn't ready to throw the towel in when I did," he admits.

Osbourne will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year as a solo artist, adding to his previous honors with Black Sabbath .
