The rock duo Daryl Hall and John Oates announced Monday they will not be playing Phoenix next month following an Arizona Diamondbacks game.

Their manager Jonathan Wolfson told The Associated Press from Los Angeles that Hall and Oates will not play Phoenix July 2 because of their personal stance against Arizona's new immigration law.


The pair issued a statement through Wolfson saying they stand in solidarity with the music community in boycotting Arizona at this time.

They also emphasized the decision has nothing to do with the management of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

D-backs' president and chief executive Derrick Hall said they understand the duo's decision.

I can't go for that, no can do.

Oh no ... how will Phoenix ever recover from such a crushing blow?

I'm thinking that John was vociferous about this decision. Just a hunch...

and nobody noticed that the concert was canceled. TAKE THAT Arizona!




Worlds GREATEST Photographer!

These gestures won't carry much weight until the Corey Harts and Richard Marxs of the world also weigh in.

yeah, these guys have been relegated to play at 3'rd rate venues anyway. I just saw that they are playing at Riverside Casino in Riverside Iowa?? http://www.riversidecasinoandresort.com ... center.php

3rd rate venues? 3rd rate venues?? They were on the "American Idol" season finale!

Granted, it was full of artists who are relegated to playing at 3rd rate venues. But still!

.. yeah yeah.. we got a diamondcrack mittigation law or whatever it's called down here too.... so just in case they were thinking of touring Oz.. they should maybe instead silently fuck off...
