After 28 Years, Daft Punk Has Officially Announced Their Split with an 8-Minute Epilogue Video

The French EDM-Pop duo Daft Punk has officially announced their breakup after 28 years together in the music industry. On Monday morning, February 22nd, the beloved pair, Guy-Manuel de Momem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, dropped a surprise eight minute long epilogue video. The opening scene features the two of them walking through an open desert wearing custom racing suits and their signature helmets.

The symbolism of their split is shown when Bangalter hangs behind his partner, creating a distance between the two, and starts stripping his black jacket to reveal a control panel. Momem-Christo meets up with Bangalter, who then turns around for his partner to open the panel to reveal a switch. Momem-Christo flips the switch, setting off a self destruct timer that gets louder as the distance between the duo grows once again.
