DaryL Hall Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Daryl Hall continues to shape his legacy in 2025 with a flurry of headline-making developments, public statements, and live music milestones. The big story of the week, as reported by the Associated Press and echoed by The Tennessean, is that Hall and John Oates have’finally resolved their high-profile lawsuit via private arbitration. The legal battle, which started in late 2023, centered on Oates’ attempt to sell his stake in their joint business venture Whole Oats Enterprises to Primary Wave Music. The Nashville court formally ended the dispute on August 12, marking the official conclusion of their dynamic—sometimes volatile—business relationship. While neither side disclosed settlement details, fans will note the clear vibe from both camps that a Hall & Oates reunion is firmly off the table. Hall told The Times flatly, “That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean,” and Oates confirmed separately that the partnership is finished.
While legal matters have wound down, Hall’s solo career is ramping up. Ultimate Classic Rock confirms new fall 2025 tour dates, with the West Coast leg kicking off October 19 in Reno and wrapping November 4 in Denver. Shows in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and other major cities feature opening sets by Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. Hall divides his setlists between his solo works and the classic Hall & Oates hits. His 2024 solo album, co-produced by Dave Stewart, is still resonating with fans and critics.
Looking ahead, Hall and Dave Stewart announced the upcoming September 21 world premiere of their peace anthem “Peace One Day,” to be performed live during the Peace One Day global digital broadcast. Rock and Blues Muse reports that this event will spotlight Hall not just as a hitmaker, but as a force for social good. The song will also be released exclusively through the blockchain-based SongBits platform, with all proceeds supporting peace initiatives.
Social media buzzed with speculation after news outlets like KENS 5 wondered if the lawsuit's resolution might pave the way for future collaborations. However, with both artists doubling down on their commitment to solo futures and separate creative paths, such chatter remains pure fan fantasy for now.
Financially, as reported by Forbes and Finance Monthly, Hall’s net worth stands at a robust $80 million, fueled by songwriting royalties, touring, real estate, and multimedia ventures like Live From Daryl’s House. The settlement does nothing to slow his business hustle or musical visibility.
