Choosin' a mustache over music?

Halloates_2 They've lost that lovin' feeling. Hall & Oates has canceled the Florida leg of their upcoming U.S. tour, according to the promotion company. Just a conflict of dates, we're told. Hopefully, the dates will be rescheduled.

(Among the half dozen gigs was a March 26 show at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall.)

The soulful pop 80s duo does seem to have a lot of their plate this spring. There are rumors they'll appear on American Idol again as performers or mentors. Daryl Hall also is scheduled to speak and give interviews during Austin's SXSW music super-conference in mid-March.

And the now-cleanshaven John Oates is busy working on a new cartoon in development about the superpowers of his formerly famous mustache. Seriously. No telling if Hall's signature sideburns are going to serve as the 'stache's crime-fighting sidekick.
