Daryl Hall\u00a0<\/strong>has given the definitive answer as to the future of\u00a0Hall & Oates<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with\u00a0<\/span>Variety<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>, Hall opened up about the rift between him and\u00a0John Oates<\/strong>\u00a0that culminated in a lawsuit, when Oates tried to sell his half of their company, Whole Oats, without getting the needed permission from Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>It hit me by surprise,\u201d Hall says. \u201cI don\u2019t know, man \u2014 all I can say is people change and sometimes you don\u2019t really know someone like you thought you did.\u201d\u00a0He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate and untimely, but some things just change. People rewrite history and harbor thoughts you had no idea about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked if all this meant Hall & Oates were done for good, Hall replied, \u201cThat is correct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t had a creative relationship with John for at least 25 years,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe didn\u2019t write songs together, we didn\u2019t do anything together except perform live shows.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall is now taking the next step in his career, releasing the new solo album,\u00a0<\/span>D,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>on June 21, featuring the new single, \u201c<\/span>Can\u2019t Say No to You<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u201d which is now available on\u00a0<\/span>all digital outlets<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall worked with\u00a0Eurythmics<\/strong>‘\u00a0Dave Stewart\u00a0<\/strong>on the album, calling him \u201cmy shadow partner since 1984,” suggesting a bit of a dig at Oates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re best friends. This was a real duo album, two people coming together, understanding one another and writing songs \u2014 most of them were written on the spot,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a real 50-50 project. Dave and I have a real partnership and have had for a long time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall will get to play some of those solo songs when he hits the road with\u00a0Elvis Costello\u00a0<\/strong>starting June 2 in Troutdale, Oregon. A complete list of dates can be found at\u00a0<\/span>darylhall.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
