This week, world-famous music duo Daft Punk released an one last hurrah with the "Epilogue" track and broke up their band after 28 years. The French electronic performers have livened up our lives with eclectic dance tracks and their iconic robot masks.
I feel like someone should tell Daft Punk this is literally the worst time to hang up your masks.
