The French duo Daft Punk who had performed some of the most popular electronic dance and pop songs ever has broken up. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo announced the news with a video full of ‘Epilogue’. Kathryn Frazier, the long broadcaster of the group, confirmed the news but didn’t say the reason for the breakup.
The 28-year-old band gained worldwide fame with songs ‘Around The World’, ‘Get Lucky’, ‘Lose Yourself To Dance’ and many more. They represented a vision that changed electronic music forever with a science fictional aesthetic and enthusiastic pop sounds.
The duo Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, who shared this sad and surprising news with an 8-minute video titled “Epilogue” taken from the 2006 Electroma films, of course, did not make an individual statement on the subject.
