Ryan Gosling is returning to music with Dead Man’s Bones, the gothic rock duo he formed with musician Zach Shields, after a 17-year break.
The band confirmed through an Instagram announcement on October 22 that new music will arrive on October 27, 2026. The announcement featured a Halloween-themed video with references to ghosts, shadows, and supernatural imagery.
Gosling’s partner, Eva Mendes, had hinted at the comeback earlier in the week through social media posts. Following the announcement, Mendes shared her excitement, writing, “He came through on his promise to me.”
