Daryl Hall postpones New Hampshire concert

Boston Globe - United States
Daryl Hall, who was diagnosed with lyme disease earlier this year, has postponed a Labor Day weekend concert with John Oates.

The duo postponed Saturday's concert at the Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center until next season. Hall needs to spend a few days at home recuperating, "due to his ongoing battle with lyme disease," a news release from the center said Thursday. The duo apologized to fans.

Hall and Oates plan to return to the road after Labor Day weekend, the center said. However, their Web site still showed them as scheduled to perform on Labor Day in Canada.

Lyme disease, caused by the bite of infected deer ticks, can cause arthritis, neurological problems and ecephalitis.

Hall and Oates had postponed some shows in July. Hall, 55, had been recovering at his home in upstate New York.

The duo are known for their 1980s hits including "Maneater," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" and "Kiss on My List."

They have been touring in support of their latest album, "Our Kind of Soul."
