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.
