Amid a legal battle with his long-time collaborator John Oates which also included a restraining order, Daryl Hall played a concert filled with Hall & Oates classics.

Legal Battle and Restraining

Currently, Daryl Hall is embroiled in a legal battle with his long-time musical and business partner John Oates. And this legal battle also comprises a restraining order. And still, Daryl performed to a packed audience at Tokyo Garden Theater in Japan on the 23rd of November. Not only that he perform several from his solo setlist but also played some of the Hall & Oates classics. “Out of Touch,” “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” and “Private Eyes” were some of the songs that he played from the duo’s classics. Classic rocker Todd Rundgren also appeared for the show and matched with the iconic vibe Daryl has created.


Hall & Oates fans were completely shattered when they learned that Hall filed an undisclosed complaint against Oates. The legal battle continues to impose a temporary restraining order on the 16th of November. As per the reports, the restraining order was granted on 16th November and was set to go into effect on the 30th of November. There is very little information available on the lawsuit. All the records about this legal procedure have been sealed by the court, and everyone else in maintaining the silence on this complaint.

If you retrospect then you will learn that Hall & Oates was formed in 1970. Within 2 years they released their debut album ‘Whole Oates’ in 1972. The duo has seen widely successful years in their music career. They reach the peak of success with numbers like “Maneater” and “Rich Girl.” The duo has reached the pinnacle six times in their career together before they set off to pursue their solo career. Yet, their popularity has not moved a bit since their initiation. Recently, the duo, Hall & Oates toured together in October 2022.

However, in 2021 in an interview with GQ, Oates downplayed any tension in the collaboration between this long-term duo. He said, “Y’know, [there have been] way more ups than downs, to be honest with you.” Adding more, “It’s actually a miracle, I’m actually shocked that we are able to still play together and it’s great. It’s something that you have to really appreciate, because like you said, it’s not easy.”
