Reed participated in the reformation of the Velvet Underground in the 1990s, and made several more albums, including a collaboration album with John Cale titled Songs for Drella which was a tribute to their former mentor Andy Warhol.1992's Magic and Loss, would become Reed's highest-charting album on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at No. 6.
