SURPRISE PERFORMANCE OF "STRONGER" MARKS DAFT
PUNK'S FIRST EVER TV PERFORMANCE IN THEIR 14 YEAR HISTORY. DAFT PUNK
AND KANYE WEST PERFORMED AN ORIGINAL VERSION OF "STRONGER" THAT THEY
CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EVENT.
The iconic and critically acclaimed French duo Daft Punk made a
surprise appearance at the 50th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday
night. For their first ever television performance, they teamed up
with Kanye West to perform his 2007 smash hit "Stronger", which
samples the group's 2001 single "Harder Better Faster Stronger" from
their landmark album Discovery. For the Grammy Awards, Daft Punk and
Kanye West performed an original version of "Stronger" they created
specifically for this event, marking Daft Punk's only television
performance in the 14 year history of the band.
2007 found Daft Punk more relevant than ever - both critically and
commercially. The duo redefined the scope of their career through a
mind-blowing live show that toured internationally, followed by the
theatrical release of their directorial film debut Daft Punk's
Electroma, and the release of their live album Alive 2007- all to
overwhelming accolades from fans and critics alike. The year
culminated into a cover shared with Kanye West for SPIN magazine.
