Daft Punk Break Up

The legendary dance duo has called it quits 28 years after forming in Paris

pitchfork.com

Daft Punk, the Parisian duo responsible for some of the most popular dance and pop songs ever made, have split. They broke the news with an 8-minute video titled “Epilogue,” excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma. Asked if Daft Punk were no more, their longtime publicist Kathryn Frazier confirmed the news to Pitchfork but gave no reason for the breakup.

Very sad. I can't say how many times I've listened to their Tron soundtrack, but it's at the top of my most played list for the last two years.

I went to look for clues; one of the two is listed as a retired musician, so I'd not be surprised if that's why they broke up.

This is the beggining of the AI revolt. This belongs in PRS.

Well it's a loss for the music world. Wonder what they are going to do on from now then, if they'll go for solo careers as musicians, do more background work in studios as producers or just become privateers.

One of the few groups though which while becoming extremely popular nobody would recognize on street due to their robot personas. Maybe they'll just do that then, blending in with the people. A luxury many popular bands don't have.

It's a band breaking up. Nothing more nothing less.
We will live.
They ain't The Beatles.

Looks like one half of the band retired.

Wonder if they'll be enticed to do the music for Jared Leto's Tron movie?

dude, the robots subverted their programming.

Or are you one of the wierdos who think they're just guys in helmets?

They had a good gimmick and they needed that, because they only had one or two good songs IMHO.

Cheap knockoffs of the original and best robot pop band.

I stand by my statement!!!

Nothing could ever live up to the praise the Beatles get, not even the Beatles.

Except for David Bowie.

The man had a great career, I'm a fan, but nothing compared to how the Beatles influenced pop music with their last few albums.
