Are there any discussions? Yes. According to our information, the group met with the organising committee, “several months ago”. The appointment would have been concluded without a formal agreement between Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel of Homem-Christo. Since then, we have been “working” on both sides to devise the framework for a possible Daft Punk participation. "We're talking. They did not say no, but they are hard in business," a source close to this file, followed closely by the Élysée. The duo of hype musicians makes no comment.

Me, too. All those years of silence, just to pop up one day and say they broke up.

 

It would be amazing to see them together again "one more time," even if I never will get to attend one of their shows. News sources are now saying that they declined this Olympics offer.
