Daryl Hall Gets Restraining Order Against John Oates in Hall & Oates Legal Battle

Hall & Oates are embroiled in a confidential legal battle that has led to Daryl Hall getting a restraining order against his former music partner John Oates.

Little information about the lawsuit is publicly available, as the court documents are sealed, but based on court records, Hall filed an undisclosed complaint against Oates on Nov. 16, as well as a motion for a temporary restraining order, as reported by Philadelphia magazine. The following day, the court officially issued a temporary restraining order to begin Nov. 30.

The Nashville Chancery Court confirmed the existence of the lawsuit to Variety, but declined further comment because the lawsuit is sealed.

As TMZ points out, Hall disparaged Oates on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast last year, saying, “You think John Oates is my partner? … He’s my business partner. He’s not my creative partner.”

That's too bad.

"Hall & Oats" are the quintessential soundtrack of the '80's. Their music is iconic and they did that together...not as solo performers. Sad to see this kind of rift play out so publicly.

Mainstream stuff was horrible from Madonna to H&O to Benatar to hair bands. I never cared for them other than “Man Eater”. Hall seems to have quite a reputation in the music industry. They sold more than Lennon and McCartney.

Not my thing.

I think they started in the 1970s. Yes they got overplayed on MTV, but somehow I didn't burn out on them.

Daryl is one of the greatest singers in rock history.
That could be respected whether the material is your cup of tea or not.
