Prince won't only be making his long await return to Saturday Night Live this coming weekend (November 1st), he will be making history with his performance.

When Prince takes the SNL stage for his first appearance since February 4, 2006 he will be performing an 8 minute jam during the middle of the broadcast.

During the show's 40 year history almost all musical guests have had two short performances during the broadcast; one in the middle of the show and one near the closing, but Prince will be the first artist in history to have an extended performance during the middle of the show.

Prince is set to perform with his all-female band 3rdeyegirl (guitarist Donna Grantis, bassist Ida Nielsen, and drummer Hannah Ford Welton) and they will be promoting his two recent album releases Art Official Age (solo) and Plectrumelectrum (with 3rdeyegirl).

Prince won't be the only one returning to the show after a long absence as the episode will be hosted by Chris Rock who specifically requested that Prince be the musical guest.
