Rowlands, 44, and Simons, 45, fell in love the moment they laid eyes on one other in 1989 while they were both history students at the University of Manchester.
They were only pals before becoming brothers.
Are The Chemical Brothers really brothers?
Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons founded the English electronic music group The Chemical Brothers in Manchester in 1989.
They helped establish the big beat genre as a dominant force in popular culture, along with the Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, the Crystal Method, and other bands.
Exit Planet Dust, their debut album, was published in 1995 and eventually sold more than a million copies globally.
The pair gained further recognition with their second album Dig Your Own Hole (1997), which topped the UK charts after luring Virgin Records.
They have six No. 1 albums, 13 Top 20 singles, including two No. 1 successes, and six No. 1 albums in the UK.
Simons is more guarded and critical and still lives in west London. Rowlands is more musically inclined naturally, however they’ve never explicitly described how their creative collaboration works.
He manages the recording facility, amasses old synthesizers, and occasionally performs vocals and guitar on the records.
