DaryL Hall Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Daryl Hall is once again commanding headlines as both the music industry and long-time fans watch him turn the page on one of pop’s most storied partnerships. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Hall just extended his 2025 solo tour into November, with fresh West Coast dates set for Reno, LA, Las Vegas, and Denver. Hall continues to split his setlist between solo work and classic Hall & Oates hits, and notably, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze will be opening these new shows. The energy around Hall’s performances is nothing short of electric, with many shows quickly selling out and fans celebrating this new creative chapter.

But it’s not just tour news creating a stir. In what might be the final word on one of rock’s messiest divorces, Daryl Hall and John Oates have at last resolved their protracted legal dispute, as reported this week by The Associated Press and The Tennessean. Hall officially dropped his lawsuit against Oates in Nashville court on August 12, after private arbitration settled their issues surrounding Oates’ attempt to sell his stake in Whole Oats Enterprises to Primary Wave Music. While the exact terms remain confidential, both men have been unequivocal in interviews—there is no chance of a reunion. Hall told Variety and The Times, "That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean," making clear this latest legal truce is the true end of an era.

On the business side, Hall remains a force. Forbes places his 2025 net worth at around $80 million, powered by tour earnings, ongoing royalties—still estimated around $1.5 million annually just from the Hall & Oates catalog—and continued media deals. His much-loved Live from Daryl’s House remains a staple for music lovers worldwide and relationship with brands like Fender injects fresh energy and visibility to his projects.

As for new music, there’s real excitement brewing. Rock and Blues Muse reports Hall is teaming up with Dave Stewart to debut the anthem “Peace One Day” at this year’s Peace One Day Celebration on September 21. All proceeds will benefit the eponymous nonprofit, and the digital concert promises appearances from stars like Vanessa Amorosi, Emeli Sande, and even Sir Richard Branson.

Social media has been buzzing with speculation that peace in the courts might translate to peace on stage, but Hall has nipped rumors of a Hall & Oates reunion in the bud, reassuring both press and fans that his solo future is full steam ahead. That said, fans haven’t stopped begging for a collaboration, as seen across fan pages and even local San Antonio coverage.
