John Oates made headlines last November when his rift with Daryl Hall went public amid a rancorous legal battle.
There’s a song on John Oates’ new album Reunion about a renowned musical duo that stayed together for decades even as their relationship became strained. But the name of the song is not " Daryl Hall & John Oates.”
Hall & Oates is “absolutely” finished, said the singer and guitarist who cowrote many of the band’s best-loved songs and sang lead on “She’s Gone” and “How Does It Feel To Be Back.” Oates is glad that it happened accidentally. Had he addressed the split in more specific terms, “it would either have fallen flat or sounded bitter and vindictive,” he said.
The duo was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, and their HoagieNation festival launched in 2017. But it failed to return in 2022 and Hall and Oates played their final show in Laughlin, Nev., in October 2022. Reunion’s title track was inspired by Oates’ father, Al, who turned 101 this month but has had recent health struggles. “We were worried he was headed to a reunion with my mom.” Ann Oates died in 2017.
