After 17 years, Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields are bringing back their rock duo, Dead Man's Bones. The band announced via Instagram that new music will arrive on October 27, a date strategically chosen for a Halloween season return.

The announcement video itself carried a haunting tone, with a mysterious voice declaring, "Dead man's bones must wait to rise." The release date was confirmed by a young girl's voice, potentially Gosling's daughter.
Gosling's partner, Eva Mendes, had previously teased the reunion, and following the confirmation, she shared, "He came through on his promise to me." Gosling has recently showcased his vocal talents in "La La Land" and "Barbie," earning a Grammy nomination for "I'm Just Ken."
