Daryl Hall Diagnosed With Lyme Disease

Daryl Hall, of Hall & Oates fame, has had to cancel forthcoming dates with John Oates after being diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The disease is caused by the bite of infected deer ticks. While that sounds dramatic, it is quite a common in the north east states according Hall's publicist Jonathan Wolfson.

Woolfson tells Undercover News that "it is more common that people think. It is indigenous to north east states, especially the upstate New York and trio-state areas where Daryl has a house".

In a statement, Daryl said "We are so sorry to disappoint our fans, but we promise to make it up to them," said Daryl. "This illness made it impossible for me to give my best effort to our audience, but now that it's been identified, I'm looking forward to a complete, quick recovery and to get back out there with John as soon as possible."

The singer wasn't feeling well on June 22 and was about to kick off a tour in San Diego when he fell ill and couldn't make it on stage. Two nights later in Phoenix, he made it on stage but had to stop midway through the gig. They then cancelled LA and the following 5 shows. The remainder of the tour in July has now been postponed.

Doctor's have prescribed Hall antibiotics and ordered him to rest for a couple of weeks to make a full recovery.

Hall & Oates were touring their current album Our Kind of Soul which was released in October last year on their own DKE Records.

I was wondering why he looked so bloated during his cameo on American Idol recently.

Oh man.... I posted this for some laughs quite actually (even I'll just first admit that Hall & Oates music is among one of my guilty pleasures) and I wish him the fullest/quickest recovery.... But just think of all the satire titles we can do with their songs and his condition...I'm absolutely not trying to be insensitive though....

There's

"Private Ticks"
"Tick, Smile"
"Tick Girl"
"Maneater" (the actual title suits it quite well)
"Lyme On Lyme" (instead of "One On One")
"Bite On My List"
"Tick's Gone"
"You Bite My Dreams"
"I Can't Bleed For That" (No Can Don't)
"Method of Deer Love"

That's all I'll list for now!

I guess I better stop saying he has been diagnosed with disease.
