DaryL Hall Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Daryl Hall has been making waves lately both in music circles and legal headlines. Just days ago, he officially dismissed his lingering legal claims against John Oates and his trust. The legal dispute—which first erupted last November—centred on Oates trying to sell his share of their longtime business, Whole Oates Enterprises, to Primary Wave Music. Hall called this move the "ultimate partnership betrayal," arguing it violated a confidential agreement and posed "imminent irreparable harm" to their partnership. According to PEOPLE magazine and Rolling Stone, the matter has now ended out of court, resolved through arbitration, though the details remain sealed. This marks a dramatic turning point, closing the book on a saga that has defined the last year of Hall's public and personal life.

In the aftermath, both Hall and Oates have gone public with the true state of their relationship. Hall confirmed earlier this year to The Times, "That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean," making it unmistakably clear that a Hall & Oates reunion is off the table, perhaps permanently. Oates recently reinforced this sentiment in interviews with MusicRadar and PEOPLE, stating the two are no longer friends, their life goals have diverged completely, and the creative partnership they once shared has run its course.

Despite the division, Hall remains active career-wise. He’s set to appear at the Peace One Day concert at Wembley Arena on September 21, 2025, joining Dave Stewart and Basement Jaxx on a star-studded bill. This is a high-profile public appearance that signals Hall is keen to move forward musically, building his solo legacy apart from the shadow of Hall & Oates, focusing on what he calls "100% authentic" artistic expression.

Social media has been buzzing about Hall’s legal victory and upcoming London performance, with fans showing support and sharing memories of classic Hall & Oates hits. The official Hall & Oates music video for "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" was reposted by their team just days ago, drawing thousands of nostalgic comments and shares, while magazine platforms revisited the duo’s impact on American pop-rock.

There are no confirmed business deals reported in the last 24 hours, but Hall’s marketability and enduring catalog remain hot topics in music news outlets.
