"Genuine sadness. These guys will be musical legends forever."
After 28 years, the electronic duo is no more.
Daft Punk quitting music has sent shockwaves through the internet. The iconic French DJs, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, released a video earlier today which suggests that they have called it quits.
Everyone can reel off at least one Daft Punk song from their back catalogue, which includes such age-old bangers as 'Around The World', 'One More Time', and one of their recent offerings, 'Get Lucky' from 2013.
And so, with the internet and music fans across the globe currently listening to 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' in honour of the legends, get ready to laugh, cry, and remain in utter shock as we go through some of the best reactions from Twitter of Daft Punk quitting the music industry.
Daft Punk left the game with a flawless legacy. I would say enviable but impossibly unattainable is more appropriate

Electronic music would’ve been a whole lot different without Daft Punk. Definitely going to miss them, but thank you guys for everything. pic.twitter.com/M0OwaB1ajQ
