Daryl Hall and John Oates have known each other since 1967 and performed together as Hall & Oates for over 50 years. While they\u2019ve each had solo projects, they\u2019ve never officially split up as a band. As Hall & Oates, they jointly released 18 studio albums and toured together as recently as last year. All in all they\u2019ve been a low-key music duo just turning out the hits with no drama. But that was all a LIE!! No, I\u2019m exaggerating. Due to the filings being sealed, we don\u2019t know much about what\u2019s going on between Daryl Hall and John Oates the men \u2014 other than the attention-grabbing headline we got over Thanksgiving weekend that Hall was suing Oates and even got a restraining order. Tr\u00e8s myst\u00e9rieux.<\/p>\n
\nHall & Oates are embroiled in a confidential legal battle that has led to Daryl Hall getting a restraining order against his former music partner John Oates.<\/p>\n
Little information about the lawsuit is publicly available, as the court documents are sealed, but based on court records, Hall filed an undisclosed complaint against Oates on Nov. 16, as well as a motion for a temporary restraining order, as reported by Philadelphia magazine. The following day, the court officially issued a temporary restraining order to begin Nov. 30.<\/p>\n
The Nashville Chancery Court confirmed the existence of the lawsuit to Variety<\/em>, but declined further comment because the lawsuit is sealed.<\/p>\n
On Nov. 23, Hall played a concert full of Hall & Oates classics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
As TMZ points out, Hall disparaged Oates on Bill Maher\u2019s \u201cClub Random\u201d podcast last year, saying, \u201cYou think John Oates is my parenter? \u2026 He\u2019s my business partner. He\u2019s not my creative partner.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on, \u201cJohn and I are brothers, but we are not creative brothers. We are business partners. We made records called Hall & Oates together, but we\u2019ve always been very separate, and that\u2019s a really important thing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hall then went on to diminish the collaborative aspect of Hall & Oates, using the duo\u2019s 1980 No. 1 hit \u201cKiss on My List\u201d as an example of their apparent creative separation. \u201cI did all those [harmonies],\u201d Hall said. \u201cThat\u2019s all me.\u201d Oates is not credited as a songwriter on \u201cKiss on My List,\u201d but is listed as a co-producer with Hall.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

First of all, major props to the aforementioned Philadelphia magazine for their perfect headline Hall Is Suing Oates, and We Can\u2019t Go For That<\/em>. Secondly, I\u2019m not saying Bill Maher caused<\/em> Daryl Hall to trash talk John Oates on the podcast, but I\u2019m also totally not surprised that that kind of negativity found a breeding ground in a Bill Maher environment. Finally, yipes! What is going on here? TMZ goes further in their reporting (and yes, they did an \u201cI Can\u2019t Go For That\u201d headline too, but their publishing date was two days after Philadelphia magazine). TMZ claims that Hall is suing over breach of contract, likely due to a royalties dispute and\/or Oates singing certain songs in solo acts. My question then is, why would any of those issues require a restraining order?<\/p>\n
This just in! Variety<\/em> is now reporting that a Tennessee judge unsealed some of the court documents which reveals that Hall is suing to stop Oates from selling his share in their joint venture to Primary Wave Music. Ah, another major catalog sale at play. Still wonder about the restraining order, though.<\/p>\n
