 John Oats Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Here’s the latest in the life and times of John Oates for this episode of John Oats Biography Flash. In the past few days, John Oates has been vocal and visible in the media, drawing fresh attention to both his life after Hall and Oates and the final chapter of one of pop’s most storied partnerships. According to MusicRadar and The View’s September 8 broadcast, Oates confirmed on air and online that the long-running legal dispute with former partner Daryl Hall has officially been settled. No details have surfaced about the terms, but Oates made it crystal clear to fans: there’s “no chance” of a creative reunion and he now defines Hall as “no longer a friend.” Asked directly what could change his mind, Oates responded with an unequivocal “nothing,” underlining that the Hall and Oates ship has sailed for good.

On social media, Oates hasn’t engaged in any public spat or cryptic posts; instead, he’s redirecting attention to his solo career and creative independence. He’s been promoting his self-titled album, Oates, which dropped earlier this year and is gaining traction on streaming platforms. The album threads soul, R&B, and pop, and features collaborations with younger artists like JT Loux, whose sophomore album due out in 2026 will include a song written jointly with Oates. According to Parade’s September 4 report and a recent Stereogum interview, Oates describes working with younger musicians as “one of his most exciting chapters yet,” a sentiment echoed during his appearance on The Masked Singer last year, where he performed as an anteater.

Oates appeared on The View just days ago, openly reflecting on his split from Hall, saying he wants fans to remember Hall and Oates “in their prime.” As he put it to MusicRadar, “a redo or revitalization is impossible,” and he believes there’s “a time stamp on creativity.” Oates says that after fifty years people grow apart, and he’s not interested in clinging to the past or performing out of nostalgia. Parade writes that after the contentious fallout, which included lawsuits and a restraining order, Oates and Hall amicably agreed to separate business interests, with the last joint performance dating back to October 2022.

No major headlines in the last 24 hours have suggested any new public feuds or reconciliations. The biographically significant update here is John Oates’s clear break from his past and his commitment to living and creating authentically. If you’re tracking social media or gossip, there’s nothing speculative or unconfirmed—Oates is forging ahead, alone and by choice.
