Hall reportedly filed a legal complaint against Oates on November 16 and a day later, the court issues a temporary restraining order that takes effect on November 30.
The court documents are sealed and the Nashville Court of Chancery declined to comment on the lawsuit, although the court confirmed that the lawsuit is real.
TMZ reports that the lawsuit stems from “some form of breach of contract,” and the outlet reports that it is “possibly a dispute over royalty division, or it could be because Oates sings her songs solo.”
The music stars met in 1967 and formed their musical duo three years later. Their first album was released in 1972 and they released 18 studio albums in total.
The group never officially broke up and toured together in October 2022, but Hall criticized Oates in an interview last year.
“Do you think John Oates is my partner? …He is my business partner. He’s not my creative partner,” Hall said on the Bill Maher Show. Random club podcast from last year. “John and I are brothers, but we are not creative brothers. We are business partners. We made records together called Hall & Oates, but we’ve always been very separate and that’s something that’s really important to me.”
Variety reports that Daryl Hall played a concert in Japan on Thursday (November 23) and still performed a bunch of Hall & Oates classics.
