One day prior to ''I/O''{{'}}s release, Gabriel told ''[[The New York Times]]'' that he does not expect a follow-up album (which he described as his "brain project") to take another 21 years, saying that "there's a lot of stuff in the can" but added that the material is not yet finished.<ref>{{cite web |last=Pareles |first=Jon |author-link=Jon Pareles |date=30 November 2023 |title=Older and Wiser, Peter Gabriel Is Still Looking Ahead |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/arts/music/peter-gabriel-i-o.html |access-date=30 November 2023 |website=[[The New York Times]] |language=en}}</ref>
