In 1982, a brain tumour was discovered near the base of Bachman's brain; tricky surgery removed it.
After Bachman's true identity was revealed, later publicity dispatches (and about the author blurbs) revealed that Bachman died suddenly in late 1985 of "cancer of the pseudonym, a rare form of schizonomia". ==Identification== King dedicated Bachman's early books—Rage (1977), The Long Walk (1979), Roadwork (1981), and The Running Man (1982)—to people close to him.
At the time of the announcement in 1985, King was working on Misery, which he had planned to release as a Bachman book. ==Post-outing== In 1987, the Bachman novel The Running Man inspired the Paul Michael Glaser film of the same name.
It was published in 2007 under the Bachman pseudonym, with a foreword by King under his own name. King has taken full ownership of the Bachman name on numerous occasions, as with the republication of the first four Bachman titles as The Bachman Books: Four Early Novels by Stephen King in 1985.

King insisted that his name not be on the credits, and the screen credit for the film went to Richard Bachman. King used the "relationship" between himself and Bachman as a concept in his 1989 book The Dark Half.
King dedicated The Dark Half to "the late Richard Bachman." Originally there were plans to make the book a collaboration between the two, although this was later scrapped. In 1996, Bachman's The Regulators came out, with the publishers claiming the book's manuscript was found among Bachman's leftover papers by his widow.
(In 1996, the collection was reissued with a new King essay, "The Importance of Being Bachman".) Richard Bachman was also referred to in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series of books.

In a footnote to the preface of Blaze, dated 30 January 2007, King wrote of Rage: "Now out of print, and a good thing." King's other Bachman novels are available in the US in separate volumes. In 2010, King appeared on the FX television show Sons of Anarchy in a cameo role.

He is drawn to resemble King. In the 2013 Grimm episode "Nameless", Richard Bachman being a pseudonym of Stephen King was a plot point.
