Daryl Hall Says He Underwent Successful Kidney Transplant From Living Donor

He announced the surgery on Tuesday and says he plans to return to performing within a few months.

Overview

  • Hall, 79, posted on social media on Tuesday that he received a kidney from a “very kind and generous” living donor and that his doctors called the operation a complete success.
  • He said the transplant took place a couple of weeks earlier and that he is already starting to feel better as he recovers under medical care.
  • Hall declined to give medical details or identify the donor and has not explained why he needed the transplant.
  • The singer told fans he expects to be “back to normal in a few months” and promised more music and episodes of his Daryl’s House series once he recovers.
  • The update follows years of public health ups and downs for Hall, including a past Lyme disease diagnosis, and comes after his 2023–2025 legal dispute with John Oates was settled in 2025.
