Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo posted a video earlier on YouTube titled Epilogue, which hinted at the split. Electronic duo Disclosure also commented on the video to thank them for the inspiration.Parisian duo Daft Punk have announced their official split via an eight-minute video on their YouTube page.

Fans are showering the video with love, quoting their songs and plastering 'Long Live the Robot Heads' everywhere. The French duo has been a part of the industry for 28 years now and has touched many generations' lives closely. No matter the bad news, fans have respected their decision and appreciated them for being a part of their childhoods instead. The nature of the video along with the song lyrics suggests that one of the two decided to move away although it's better not to read too much into it. The lyrics word, 'If love is the answer, you're home. Their new song 'Touch' plays in the background as we're made to enjoy the sunset listening to it. Before the song starts, an image of one silver and one gold hand representing them, of course, come together to form the shape of a triangle with 1993-2021 written down. Bangalter is then seen going on his path to self-destruction. With a long silence getting comfortable around them, Homem-Christo decides to fulfil his wish and set him free. He gives Homem-Christo the job of flipping the switch of the control panel so that it will eventually blast. He returns back to enquire what happened.Īfter a good one minute of staring at each other, the silver helmet turns around to reveal a control panel in his back. On the other hand, Homem-Christo strides with pride until he turns around to see Bangalter halt. They walk and walk until Thomas Bangalter finally stops mid-way with a loss of purpose. The song Epilogue starts with the two masked men walking away from the camera on a desert-like unending ground.

The duo decided to announce their disbandment in an enigmatic way with an 8-minute video, out of which the first 5 minutes was the intro that defined their break up gingerly. No reason has been given on their split yet but a retirement after 3 decades of working together seems like the most valid one.
