However, Daryl Hall, 77, and John Oates, 75, have not been getting along in recent years. In fact, TMZ reports that the two are in litigation.
Hall has launched legal proceedings against his musical partner, John Oates, alleging breach of contract. Additionally, Hall obtained a restraining order against Oates last Friday.
While specific details have not yet been revealed, the outlet has managed to gather information that could provide insight into the dispute.
According to the filing, Hall and Oates were in arbitration over a dispute. Normally musical groups establish their contracts. However, Hall alleged non-compliance by Oates. The nature of the dispute is still unclear, but it could revolve around issues such as the division of royalties or Oates’ performance of his solo songs.
Hall reportedly escalated the situation by taking the matter to Chancery Court in Nashville, where he sought a restraining order against his former partner. The judge later granted the request.

The reality is that Hall and Oates have strayed from their own paths over the years. They have reunited on occasion, but frequently perform solo performances. While the exact details are unknown, it is possible that Hall believes that Oates does not have the right to perform his songs during her solo concerts.
This year, Oates has been on tour, with her most recent performance taking place in Arizona earlier this month.
In Bill Maher Random club On the podcast, Hall referred to Oates as his “business partner,” not his “creative partner,” an obvious jab at the musician. This is an indicator that makes it seem like Hall believes Oates has no right to perform his dozens of hits, even though the two co-wrote the songs.
It’s sad when bands fall apart, but having so much friction between the two is heartbreaking. Let’s hope an agreement can be reached between those who were once close friends.
