Prince will return to Saturday Night Live on November 1 and will perform one, eight-minute long performance, a first in the 40-year history of the television show. The guitarist, who recently released two albums, Art Official Age and _Plectrumelectrum,_will make his return to the SNL stage since he last played in 2006. Prince will be joined by his all-female band 3RDEYEGIRL.

There is no report as to what songs Prince will perform, but the eight-minute performance will come in the middle of the show with no closing encore.

Saturday Night Live airs November 1 and will be hosted by Chris Rock, his return to SNL after 18 years. The two made the announcement on October 14 through the picture above.
