Hall and Oates lawsuit

The feud between Daryl Hall and John Oates continues as does their lawsuit. It all started when Hall decided to sue Oates for trying to sell his portion of the business.

“We have a different strategy for our lives, and we have a different strategy for our business lives as well as our personal lives,” John explained. He added, “We’re old guys. We deserve to be allowed to do whatever we want to do.” The two performed as a duo last in 2022.
