Helmet-wearing music duo, Daft Punk, have decided to part ways after a successful 28-year music career.
The Grammy award-winning artists comprising of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo made the announcement in an 8-minute video titled Epilogue.
Bangalter and de Homem-Christo had quite a successful music career winning six Grammy Awards and launching international hits with Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Get Lucky and One More Time.
According to USA Today, the band’s longtime publicist, Kathryn Frazier, confirmed the break up for The Associated Press.
