Prince is set to storm Saturday Night Live for the first time in eight years with an extended eight minute segment - specifically with no commercial breaks.
Prince will appear alongside his band 3RDEYEGIRL in an upcoming episode (1 November) which sees Chris Rock - dressed as Prince above - hosting for the first time in almost two decades. Stereogum report that he requested that Prince perform.
3RDEYEGIRL Tweeted the announcement alongside an, erm, official press image?
