Compassion and support are on John Oates‘ mind … after being sensationally slapped with a restraining order from his former jam buddy Daryl Hall last week.
Breaking his silence following the legal turmoil … the 75-year-old dropped a T’Giving IG selfie Thursday … encouraging all to go above and beyond to help those suffering worldwide — because nothing says “I’m taking the high road” like a cryptic call for empathy … right?!
He wrote in the caption: “During this time of communal reflection and connection with loved ones, let’s not forget those experiencing challenges globally.”
