He's retired

I read a few years ago that he has started having difficulty with his memory, at least to the extent that it has affected his ability to act.

I worry we're just going to learn one day that he has died of Alzheimer's, and it'll be a shock because he's been out of the public eye for a very long time.

He was at the SNL 40 show as a presenter. He's not completely out of the public eye.

Is the memory thing just a rumor?

My guess is he's just retired. And hey, the guys close to 80 years old now. He probably just wants to relax and enjoy his remaining years(not trying come off as an ass, just saying the honest truth). He's maybe got another decade or so left to enjoy himself if he's lucky. He's never been the most healthy man considering his partying lifestyle, his weight, etc. At least he's made it to old age.

Jack Nicholson said it best in this 2013 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald:

I have a mathematician’s brain… I’m not going to work until the day I die, that’s not why I started this. I mean, I’m not driven. I was driven – but I’m not, I don’t have to be out there any more. In fact, there’s part of me that never really liked being out there… You get older, you change. The movie business is the greatest business but I only want to do films that move people, films about emotions and people. I had the most chilling thought that maybe people in their twenties and thirties don’t actually want to be moved anymore. They may want just to see more bombs, more explosions, because that is what they have grown up with. And I’ll never do that type of movie.
