Kupusović died aged 63 in the Bosnian capital city after a long illness.[3][4][5][6] After his death, the stages of the Sarajevo National Theatre where Kupusović directed a number of plays were covered with white roses. The memorial began with the John Lennon song Working Class Hero as Kupusović's paintings were shown on screen.[7]
