Daryl Hall has had a kidney transplant.
The 79-year-old Hall Oates star took to Instagram to reveal he had undergone the operation earlier this month (Jun26) - with the kidney donated by a “kind and generous living donor”.
He wrote: “I thought you should know that I recently received a kidney transplant from a very kind and generous living donor.
“It happened a couple of weeks ago, and I'm already starting to feel better.”
Daryl added that his doctors had told him the procedure was a “complete success”.
He concluded by saying that he’s hoping to be “back to normal in a few months”, as he said: “Get ready for more music and lots of Daryl's House shows. You all take care.”
The You Make My Dreams (Come True) singer didn’t give any further details about why he’d had the operation.
Messages of support quickly flooded in on the Instagram post, with singer Bebe Buell writing: “Sending you love and healing thoughts, Daryl!! We were just kids when we met but it doesn’t change the memories that are forever… the good stuff. The laughs and the times when you were a real friend. Beyond some of the crazy drama of that time…
“You’ve always been complex and brilliant. Heal swiftly and well, and bless us with some great new music!!”
As fellow musician Nooch added: “Daryl prayers to you bro! Would love to have you come through the Front Porch! Daryl’s house was a big inspiration for me!”
Daryl revealed back in 2005 that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Speaking previously about battling the disease, Daryl said that when it’s bad, it’s awful - so much so that in 2005, at the time of his diagnosis, he was forced to cancel tour dates because he was so ill.
He said: “I have good days and bad days. I was fine for four months then I might have tremors, headaches, fatigue. It's like a roving street gang of germs. There's no cure, but you can control it.
“It manifests in so many ways. It can lead to heart disease, depression. It can be so serious that people have died. It's a battle.”
