About this listen
The big headline in the Daryl Hall world this week is all about closure and moving forward. As reported by The Tennessean and Rolling Stone, the long-running legal battle between Daryl Hall and John Oates officially ended through confidential arbitration on August 12, 2025, after nearly two years of public tension over their business partnership and ownership of their legendary catalog. Details remain under wraps, but filings confirm the case is now dismissed. Oates has publicly stated he’s “moved on,” and Hall told The Times—and made it clear just last spring—that a musical reunion with Oates will never happen, emphasizing “that ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean.” For fans still holding out hope that the biggest duo of the ‘80s might patch things up, that’s the final word.
In a public appearance highlight, Hall continues his prolific solo streak with the fall 2025 extension of his U.S. tour. Ultimate Classic Rock details how the trek, which originally kicked off back in March and included a celebrated UK leg in May, now adds West Coast stops from October 19 in Reno, swinging through Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and wrapping in Denver November 4. Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze is back as Hall’s opener and musical partner, something both artists have expressed genuine excitement about in press interviews. Hall’s shows are a split—half solo material, half Hall & Oates hits—pleasing loyalists and new listeners alike.
Business-wise, Hall remains financially robust. According to Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth, his estimated net worth in 2025 is a cool $80 million, driven by healthy songwriting royalties, savvy real estate holdings in New York and Connecticut, and ongoing multimedia ventures like Live From Daryl’s House. Industry insiders, as cited by Finance Monthly, note that Hall’s touring still grosses six figures per show and his annual income is somewhere in the $2-4 million range. Live From Daryl’s House, his live jam webcast and TV series, continues to attract both sponsors and viewers.
No major scandals, lawsuits, or controversial headlines have emerged beyond the business spat with Oates; in fact, both men seem eager to put the past behind them and lean into solo creativity. For anyone monitoring Daryl’s socials, chatter remains steady, with fans mostly focused on new music—especially since Hall’s 2024 solo album D— and curiosity about how artists like CeeLo Green, Dave Stewart, and Glenn Tilbrook fit into his evolving setlists.
With this chapter closed, Daryl Hall appears more energized than ever, committed to the road, his band, and his famously independent streak.
