Seems they're parting ways.
Either way, like all good things, they come to an end frown

shame their farewell video is just a scene cut from one of their previous movies

sums up the last 10 years unfortunately.

hopefully whatever solo efforts they are going into get back to their "roots" as Thomas has proven he is still capable of with the likes of Riga.

It seems a bit attention seeky these days to announce you are splitting - just take some time out and never say never!

The problem for all bands is that the public, and especially fans, demand to know every last detail these days, so if they weren’t appearing together or producing music together, they will get absolutely bombarded with endless speculation and intrusion until they make a statement of some sort.

They have probably been considering it for ages, and thought it through, so why not announce it and get it over with?

Good luck to them whatever they decide to do next. They’ve made some amazing music.

2007’s ‘Alive in Paris’ is one of the best live sets from anyone anywhere.

I’m biased towards Thomas Bangalter though... he was responsible for “Music sounds better with you” smile

I remember the first time I watched Interstella 555, life changing.

I'd rather them call it quits than just go quiet honestly.

Incredible, that mix of Around the World and Harder, Faster Stronger with a heavy Dance wrapper is just off the charts good!

They've taken their helmets off.


Turns out they were Hall & Oates all along.
