Daft Punk Announces Theyve Split Up After 28 Years | HuffPost Entertainment

Turns out when Daft Punk said, We dont stop, you cant stop, they werent being totally honest: The electronic dance music duo just announced that theyre splitting up.

In a nearly eight-minute video titled Epilogue, excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma, the French pair walk their separate ways on a flat terrain, wearing metallic motorcycle hats and jackets that read Daft Punk. A timer ticks in the background and grows louder and louder, counting down until it hits zero. One of the members explodes and the dates 1993 - 2021 appear on-screen, indicating the year Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter formed the band.

Despite the videos vagueness, the bands longtime publicist, Kathryn Frazier, confirmed to Pitchfork on Monday that the duo is in fact splitting up, but she gave no reason for the breakup.

Fans of the band will remember their earworm hits such as One More Time, Around the World, and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, as well as their iconic robot-esque outfits. Theyve racked up many Grammy Awards over the years, including several for their 2013 album, Random Access Memories. The lead single on that album, Get Lucky, which features Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, won them two Grammys alone, while the album itself won Album of the Year and Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Other highlights in the bands career include composing the score for Tron: Legacy, a stint headlining the music festival Coachella, co-producing several tracks on Kanye Wests Yeezus, and multiple collaborations with The Weeknd.

Upon news of the split, many fans couldnt help but share how they would not be celebrating, just one more time:
