<\/p>\n

The electronic duo – whose real names are Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo – have announced their split via a dramatic video titled ‘Epilogue’.<\/p>\n

In the video, the French duo – who are widely considered to be one of the most influential groups of recent decades – are seen sporting their trademark space helmets and leather jackets.<\/p>\n

During the scene, one of the group looks at the other and reveals an energy pack on their back.<\/p>\n

Then, the other member touches a button on the pack and a big explosion takes place.<\/p>\n

The eight-minute video clip cuts to an image captioned “1993-2021” – in recognition of the group’s lifespan – before the scene transitions to a setting sun.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Daft Punk has confirmed their split to Variety, although it remains unclear if they may work together again under different names or on other projects.<\/p>\n

The duo have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry over the years, including the likes of Pharrell Williams and Kanye West.<\/p>\n

Daft Punk released their last album, ‘Random Access Memories’ – which featured Nile Rodgers and Pharrell – in 2013, and it proved to be a critical and commercial success.<\/p>\n

The acclaimed record actually won in several categories at the 2014 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Best Dance\/Electronica Album, and Best Engineered Album.<\/p>\n

Since then, however, the electronic duo have largely kept a low profile and it now remains to be seen whether they’ll ever record together again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
