Daft Punk announce split

The iconic French act has announced that it is no more. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo founded Daft Punk in 1993 and the duo had been working collaboratively for twenty eight years having released some of the most influential dance and electronic music ever recorded, crossing over into the realms of pop and collaborating with the likes of Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and many more.
