When One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 was released on August 14, 2026, it contained nine songs. “You Can't Die Young” was not one of them, though it was teased on August 14th in Manson's Virtual Art Exhibit. Two weeks later, at midnight on August 28, Marilyn Manson unexpectedly released an expanded edition of the album with this previously unreleased song added to the tracklist. Manson described it simply as “a special gift,” but its placement is more interesting than that description might suggest. On the expanded edition, “You Can't Die Young” appears as the sixth track, directly after “None of the Suns” and immediately before “Lucifer's Teardrop.” The song was therefore recorded last, yet it now occupies a position in the sequence between a song consumed by darkness and an encounter with a fallen angel trying to find his way home.

According to Rolling Stone (which purposefully posted a photo of Manson from the last decade looking defeated), Ashley Walters, who was Marilyn Manson's personal assistant from 2010 to 2011, and whose case against him was revived upon appeal in December 2023, is now set to get a trial against her former boss, with a jury trial set to begin June 2, 2025.
Apparently there was an attempt to resolve the case through mediation in December 2023, but according to Walters’ lawyer, James Vagnini, the parties were “not successful at resolving the case.”
“We are happy that the delays are behind us and that we will have an opportunity to depose Mr. Warner and present all the facts to a jury next year,” Walters’ lawyer James Vagnini said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We are confident they will acknowledge the harm done to Ms. Walters and deliver a resounding message to all survivors of such terrible abuse.”
There has been no comment as of yet from Manson's team, but he has denied "each and every allegation" against him made by his former assistant. Specifically he "denies that he assaulted, battered, harassed, or discriminated against Plaintiff."
