## Summary

Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields are reviving their spooky rock duo Dead Man’s Bones, announcing that new music will arrive on 27 October. The comeback ends a 17-year gap and brings the project back into view just ahead of Halloween.

A video teaser uses ghostly imagery and spoken lyrics before a child’s voice calls out the release date.

His wife, Eva Mendes, has also been promoting the return, but the project’s title and label have not been announced.
