Daryl Hall Recovering After Living-Donor Kidney Transplant

Hall announced on social media that an anonymous living donor gave him a kidney, saying he expects to resume performances after a few months of recovery.

Overview

  • Hall disclosed the surgery in a social-media post on Tuesday, saying the transplant happened "a couple of weeks ago," he is already feeling better and doctors called the procedure a complete success.
  • He thanked the unnamed living donor as "very kind and generous" and did not provide medical details about why he needed the transplant or how long he had been ill.
  • Hall said he "should be back to normal in a few months" and hinted at more music and additional Daryl's House shows once he recovers.
  • Fans and fellow musicians flooded his post with supportive messages, while outlets reproduced his statement as the authoritative source and representatives have not offered further updates.
  • Living-donor kidney transplants involve a healthy person donating one kidney, they often start working sooner than organs from deceased donors, and Hall’s announcement follows past public health struggles including a mid-2000s Lyme disease diagnosis.
