French electronic music duo Daft Punk have split after 28 years.
On Monday morning, the French duo uploaded an eight-minute video on YouTube, titled Epilogue, showing one of the masked members exploding while the other walks off into the sunset.
Daft Punk’s longtime publicist, Biz 3 owner Kathryn Frazier, confirmed the split to media outlets.
Watch Epilogue below:
Formed in 1993 by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the group became a hugely popular and influential electronic act thanks to singles; including One More Time and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The latter was famously sampled in Kanye West’s hit Stronger.
The duo was equally popular for their identity-concealing robot masks and elaborate live shows, which they captured in the iconic live albums, Alive 1997 and Alive 2007.
Daft Punk reached a whole new level with their 2013 album, Random Access Memories. It spawned the mega-hit Get Lucky, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. That record became the album of the year at the 2014 Grammy Awards. It turned out to be Daft Punk’s final release.
