Ok, we get that one half of Daft Punk might be going deaf and is considering giving up live gigs. Maybe he already has, as today’s Popbitch alleges: see today’s mailout:

So, you’re a reclusive but legendary dance act. You decide to do a few gigs. Your agent contacts the big European festivals and tells them you are prepared to do three dates only - to the highest bidders. Bidding reaches 300,000 euros, so you agree. And then your agent rings more festivals and says - ok, you’ll do ten dates only, at 300k a pop. You then do these festivals dressed as robots. Except, you don’t even bother going on stage for every gig, you get two replacements to work the pre-programmed synths etc.

Congratulations - you are Daft Punk!

If this were true, the contingent of unhappy folk here will be very upset.
