LMFAO: Officially announce split

American electropop duo LMFAO have split up, it has been announced.

Redfoo, LMFAO's singer and producer, revealed that he and his nephew Sky Blu have gone in "different directions" musically and will instead focus on solo projects.

"I feel like we've been doing this for so long, five or six years," he told news.com.au.

"And we're kind of like saying, well, let's just do what's natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time."

Furthermore, Redfoo, who is the son of Motown founder Berry Gordy, insisted that the duo have no plans to record together in future, explaining: "I think that we naturally just started hanging with two different sets of people, two different crowds, but we're always family.

"He'll always be my nephew, I'll always be his uncle."

The artist also revealed plans to launch a fashion line as well as continuing to make "LMFAO-ish" music, adding: "I love all the topics that we talk about.

"I was really passionate about bringing party music to the world, so I will always be making some kind of party music."

Between 2006 and 2011, LMFAO released two albums titled 'Party Rock' and 'Sorry For Party Rocking'. Their signature hit 'Party Rock Anthem' was a global number one and has been viewed on YouTube over 483,000,000 times.
