On February 22, 2021, Daft Punk announced their breakup with an enigmatic video. published on social networks, called “Epílogo”, which caused a true tsunami in the musical world.
The video of more than 8 minutes showed the two members, with their traditional robot helmets, advancing in a desert. After some signs reminiscent of a renunciation, one ended up starting the self-destruction system of the other, which was pulverized.
The duo was since “Homework” the greatest ambassador of the French electro. A status secured with three other opuses, always planetary successes: “Discovery” (2001), “Human after all” (2005) and “Random access memories” (2013), as well as outstanding stage performances.
His absence from concerts for 14 years was accompanied by a strategy of media silence that they kept from the beginning, so their hidden faces under robot masks are not officially known.
