French electronic music duo Daft Punk break up

-

Grammy-winning electronic music pioneers Daft Punk have announced that they are breaking up after 28 years. The helmetwear­ing French duo shared the news Monday in an 8-minute video called “Epilogue”. Daft Punk, comprised of Thomas Bangalter and Guymanuel de Homem-christo, have had major success over the years, winning six Grammy Awards and launching internatio­nal hits with “One More Time,” “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and “Get Lucky”. Bangalter and de Homem-christo officially formed Daft Punk in 1993, and first found success with the internatio­nal hit “Da Funk”. It was the 2014 Grammys where Daft Punk really took the spotlight, winning album of the year for “Random Access Memories” and making history as the first electronic act to win the highest honour at the Grammys. Rolling Stone ranked “Random Access Memories” No 295 on their list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” last year.
