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 Mahers Club Random podcast last year, saying, You think John Oates is my partner?
Hes my business partner. Hes not my creative partner.

(17,868 posts)"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.

Not my thing.
