Daryl Hall & John Oates: ‘We had a lethal ability to experiment’ | Pop and rock | The Guardian
The website reports on a legal dispute between iconic music duo Hall & Oates, revealing that Daryl Hall has obtained a restraining order against his partner John Oates. The lawsuit’s details are confidential, with sealed court documents, but it was initiated by Hall on Nov. 16, as he filed an undisclosed complaint and a motion for a temporary restraining order. The Nashville Chancery Court acknowledged the lawsuit’s existence but refrained from further comment due to the confidentiality of the case.
The article highlights Hall’s previous remarks about his creative and business relationship with Oates, emphasizing their separation in creative endeavors despite being business partners. Hall downplays their collaborative work, citing the 1980 hit “Kiss on My List” as an example. Despite their creative differences, the duo, formed in 1967, has a rich history with 18 studio albums and six No. 1 singles. Notably, they toured together in October 2022, and their last studio album, “Home for Christmas,” was released in 2006. Despite occasional solo projects, Hall & Oates have not officially split up, adding complexity to the ongoing legal saga.
