John Oates is going solo — but still calls Daryl Hall ‘one of the greatest singers of all time’

K.J. Yossman “Daisy Jones & the Six” star Camila Morrone is set to join Tom Hiddleston in a new season of “The Night Manager.” The hit show, based on John le Carré’s bestselling novel of the same name, is returning for two new seasons from BBC and Prime Video, which will see Hiddleston reprise his role as Jonathan Pine, who works in a hotel after leaving the army. The new season, which is set to start shooting later this year, will pick up eight years after Season 1.

The Night Manager has found a new star for the upcoming second season.

EXCLUSIVE: “I’m not so good at this part, you know,” Indian megastar Prabhas tells Deadline on the set of upcoming mythological sci-fi movie Kalki 2898 AD.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer on most Americans’ calendars, then it makes sense that the real tentpole kicking off tent season for a lot of people is not “Furiosa” or “Garfield” but “The Beach Boys,” a streaming documentary devoted to the least wintery group of all time. The Disney+ film, co-directed by music-doc stalwarts Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny, focuses on the first decade and a half, in the 1960s and ’70s, of the career of the rock band that still might rightfully be considered America’s greatest all-time group.

Before they ever went one on one as Hall & Oates, John Oates played his first show with his longtime partner Daryl Hall in New York City.After meeting as students at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1967, the blue-eyed soul brothers behind such classics as “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” made their debut in the middle of Greenwich Village’s fertile folk scene in the late ’60s.“[Daryl] had a doo wop group called the Temptones,” Oates, 76, told The Post outside the site of the former Gaslight Cafe where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo first played together in public — five-plus decades before their shocking breakup last fall.“They were a vocal group, and they needed a backing band. They had a backing band, and they lost their guitar player,” he recalled.

John Oates poses exclusively for the New York Post as he embarks on a solo career with his new album, “Reunion,” after his falling out with Hall & Oates’ Daryl Hall. “The irony behind the title has nothing to do with what was going on with Daryl and I in terms of not working together,” he says.

John Oates revisited Electric Lady Studios — the legendary recording mecca in Greenwich Village, Manhattan where Hall & Oates made many of their ‘80s classics — he got back in touch with one particular hit.That would be “Maneater,” the longest-running of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo’s six No. 1 singles.Released in October 1982 as the first single from Hall & Oates’ double-platinum “H2O” album, the song was inspired by a woman who Oates encountered back in those wild Village days — decades before his and Daryl Hall’s shocking band split last fall.“A couple streets over, there was a restaurant called Marylou’s, and it was a late-night hang,” Oates, 76, exclusively told The Post outside of Electric Lady Studios, where the twosome recorded 1981’s “Private Eyes” and 1984’s “Big Bam Boom” in addition to 1982’s “H2O.”“And I was in there one night with a group of friends sitting at a table, and this gal came in, and she was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous,” he recalled.

John Oates went back to his roots. Chock-full of history, the 76-year-old musician chose three meaningful spots from his Hall & Oates days: Rudy’s Music SoHo, Electric Lady Studios and the former site of Gaslight Cafe.Gaslight Cafe is the Greenwich Village coffeehouse where Oates and former music partner Daryl Hall played their first New York show together in the late ’60s — when they were both in different groups.“And so when you’re with one of the greatest singers of all time, of course you’re not going to be the frontman. And it’s actually OK, because I don’t think I really felt comfortable doing that anyway,” Oates explained to Arnold of their partnership.The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo met as students at Temple University in Philadelphia.

The critics have crawled all over Focus Features/StudioCanal’s Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black like red ants, however, the CinemaScore of B+ (which isn’t far from the Elton John biopic Rocketman at A-) is telling that the fans who showed up weren’t entirely wrought with the film.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Not exactly the opening weekend that dreams are made of. Director John Krasinski‘s “IF,” a fantasy-comedy that promises your imaginary friends from childhood are real, fell slightly short of box office expectations with $35 million.

John Oates has opened up about his friendship with former bandmate Daryl Hall, saying it “wasn’t as tight as people might imagine”.The pair are currently embroiled in a legal battle after Hall announced he was suing Oates after claiming that he was left “blindsided” by his plan to sell a business stake last November – which Oates described as “inaccurate”.Now, in a new interview with Good Morning America, Oates has claimed the pair’s working relationship has been distant even before the lawsuit, limited only to playing onstage where they “trotted out the hits”.Though there was no animosity, Oates claimed they “never really talked to each other”, adding: “Over the past 20 years, we’d show up at a show individually, walk on stage, play, and then we’d go our separate ways. It really wasn’t as tight as people might, you know, would like to imagine in their kind of a fantasy imagination of our relationship.When asked if Oates had a message for Hall should he be watching the interview, Oates responded: “I love you like a brother… but you know what? Brothers have disagreements, families grow apart… [I] would say, I wish him the best.“I hope that he has everything he wants in life.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson and more actors are coming to the defense of Kevin Spacey and calling for his return to the industry at large. Spacey has not worked in Hollywood since being accused by several men of sexual misconduct starting in 2017. The two-part documentary “Spacey Unmasked” recently aired in the U.K.

French director Alexandre Aja has been in the horror game for a long time; over two decades, in fact. His 2003 breakout “High Tension” cemented him as an up-and-comer in the genre, and after moving stateside to work in Hollywood, he furthered his career with remakes like “The Hills Have Eyes” and “Piranha.”  But Aja hasn’t had a real hit since 2019’s “Crawl,” a taut survivalist thriller B-movie that revived the director’s career.
