Illness in the 1980s: a stroke, a broken arm
Over the 1980s Cage's health worsens progressively: arthritis, sciatica and arteriosclerosis; he has a stroke that restricts the movement of his left leg, breaks an arm in 1985, and pursues a macrobiotic diet. His biographer David Revill links this with the fire that appears in his visual work from 1985 — not only the fire of passion but fire as transitoriness and fragility.

Death in New York
On 11 August 1992, while preparing evening tea for himself and Cunningham, Cage has another stroke; he is taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, where he dies on the morning of 12 August, aged 79, only weeks before a celebration of his 80th birthday organised in Frankfurt. In accordance with his wishes his body is cremated and his ashes scattered in the Ramapo Mountains near Stony Point, at the same place as his parents'.
