Kathryn Frazier, the band's longtime publicist, confirmed the break up for
The Associated Press. Daft Punk, comprised of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, have had major success over the years, winning six Grammy Awards and launching international hits with 'One More Time', 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' and 'Get Lucky'.
Bangalter and de Homem-Christo met at a Paris school in 1987. Prior to Daft Punk, they formed an indie rock band named Darling. They officially formed Daft Punk in 1993, and the helmeted, mute and mysterious musicians released their debut album, 'Homework', in 1997.
They first found success with the international hit 'Da Funk', which topped the Billboard dance charts and earned them their first Grammy nomination. A second No. 1 hit and Grammy nomination followed with 'Around the World'. Daft Punk spent time touring around the world and reached greater heights with their sophomore album, 2001's 'Discovery'. It included the infectious smash 'One More Time' and 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger', which Kanye West famously flipped into his own hit 'Stronger', released in 2007.
