What does Epilogue mean?

Daft Punk have hung up their helmets and called it a career and the duo revealed the news with a short clip titled “Epilogue.”

An epilogue serves as the end, or the final chapter, which is fitting as the Daft Punk have decided to call it quits.

Daft Punk consisted of French duo Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, 47, and Thomas Bangalter, 46.

Daft Punk, who have always made sure to keep their looks hidden, took to YouTube to drop the head-turning news.

The video features Thomas and Guy walking around the desert in their now well-known helmets.

One of the helmet-clad men then looks at the other, takes off his leather jacket and shows off an energy pack on this back.

The other member then touches the button, walks away and explodes.

Daft Punk are an electronic music duo who are best known for their single Get Lucky in 2013 with Pharrell Williams.

The duo won a Grammy Award for the Best Album the following year.

Since then Daft Punk collaborated the Weeknd on the two songs Starboy and I Feel It Coming in 2016.
