Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter revealed on his Twitter page earlier this week that rock star Marilyn Manson will have a guest-starring role in Season 7, debuting on FX sometime this fall.

potent. creepy. cool.
look for him in season 7.
he'll be the guy riding the dragon.
Kurt Sutter revealed in a February episode of his WTF Sutter podcast that he wants Marilyn Manson to provide some music for the final season. That podcast episode also revealed that Season 7 may be extended past its normal 13-episode length, while addressing that he is, "really trying to do my very best" to get all of the episodes down to 60 minutes apiece, since several Season 6 episodes were criticized for running well past the normally-allotted time.
As for Marilyn Manson "riding the dragon," that is a term used to describe heroin users, so it seems the rock star may portray a drug addict in the show.
Marilyn Manson has previously appeared on HBO's Eastbound & Down and played himself in an episode of Showtime's Californication. He also lent his voice to The Shadow in ABC's Once Upon a Time. On the big screen, the rocker has starred in Lost Highway, Jawbreaker, Party Monster and Wrong Cops.
