Daryl Hall has ruled out a reunion with his former bandmate John Oates, citing a 2023 dispute where Oates attempted to sell his shares in their joint company, leading to legal action and the end of their partnership. Hall recently stated that any reunion is impossible, describing their collaboration as sunk, and criticized Oates, preferring his current work with Dave Stewart. Hall & Oates, known for hits like "Maneater" and "Rich Girl," were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, with their last album released in 2006. Oates previously expressed frustration over legal complexities in the matter.
