The surviving members of Type O Negative have rejected numerous offers to reform the band with a new vocalist. In a June 2023 interview with Loaded Radio , Hickey said that he was against this idea, explaining: “People have approached us to try and reform the band with a singer and go on the road…We personally don’t think Peter is replaceable by anyone and it just wouldn’t work.” He did, however, mention that he would not be against the idea of some kind of tribute show with guest musicians, saying: “If somebody had the idea and got it together and got the logistics together, sure – I would be into that.” He also mentioned that Johnny Kelly would love to perform a tribute show for Steele, but Josh Silver would more than likely not participate due to his current job as a paramedic. Kelly has also stated that a Type O Negative reunion without Steele would never happen, but believes the latter “deserves some kind of celebration” and did not rule out a tribute show.
