Type O Negative Members Weigh Peter Steele Tribute Shows as Talks Intensify

Any tribute would feature guests instead of a new frontman to honor Peter Steele's role.

Overview

  • Guitarist Kenny Hickey says promoters and agents are actively approaching the band, with rising offers fueling discussions.
  • Keyboardist Josh Silver remains resistant to taking part, and his upcoming retirement from paramedic work could influence his stance.
  • No dates or commitments have been made, and the conversations concern a possible short run of tribute shows rather than a conventional reunion.
  • Hickey reiterates that the group will not replace Steele, citing the late frontman's distinctive bass work as well as his voice.
  • Hickey previously floated the idea of four or five shows, with his latest comments coming in a new Loaded Radio interview reported by multiple outlets.
