HALL & Oates have announced their split after over 50 years together.
In a revealing interview, Daryl Hall, 77, announced the breakup of the ’80s pop band.
The ex-bandmates have had issues stemming from John Oates, 76, selling his half of the jointly-owned company, Whole Oats Enterprises.
The company owns trademarks, personal name, likeness rights, record royalty income, website, and social media assets.
Oates sold his half without Hall’s consent.
“It hit me by surprise,” Daryl told Variety.
“I don’t know, man — all I can say is people change and sometimes you don’t really know someone like you thought you did.”
“Difficulties can be made from things that aren’t difficult, and then it goes to a place where it can never come back from,” he continued.
“It’s unfortunate and untimely, but some things just change.”
“People rewrite history and harbor thoughts you had no idea about,” Daryl closed with.

When pressed if this is the last fans have seen the last of the band, the Can’t Go For That singer replied, “That is correct.”
“I haven’t had a creative relationship with John for at least 25 years,” he explained.
“We didn’t write songs together, we didn’t do anything together except perform live shows.”
“We had an arrangement that I couldn’t play my solo songs onstage with Hall & Oates — and now I get to,” Daryl concluded.
