Daft Punk Breaks Up: Fans Devastated & In Shock
Daft Punk, the duo that formed in Paris, has officially broken up after 28 years together with no reason as to why they’ve decided to split.
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are to thank for the many years of house music and for popular songs like “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
The duo released a nearly eight-minute YouTube video on Monday titled “Epilogue” that didn’t specifically announce their split, but many fans knew what it meant. To clarify their break up, their publicist, Kathryn Frazier, reported the news to Pitchfork.
Fans all over the world have shared their mourning for the house music group and have taken to social media to express their gratitude for their work.
28 years.

The year 2013 was one of the biggest for the duo due to the release of the hit “Get Lucky” off their album “Random Access Memories.” Not only were millions of copies sold around the globe, but it also won them four Grammys, including Album of the Year.
This was their last album together, but since then, they have worked on popular projects like “Starboy” in 2016 and “I Feel It Coming” with the Weeknd in 2017.
