Prince to perform on "Saturday Night Live"; Chris Rock will host
And The Elusive One returns.
Prince will perform on “Saturday Night Live” on Nov. 1, marking his third time as musical guest on the show, which so far this season has hosted Ariana Grande, Maroon 5 and Hozier.
Prince’s performance will feature his band, 3RDEYEGIRL - guitarist Donna Grantis, drummer Hannah Ford Welton and bassist Ida Nielsen – and will help promote his two new releases, “Art Official Age” and “Plectrumelectrum.”
The albums, both released Sept. 30, bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and rock chart, respectively, making Prince the first artist in more than a decade to debut two albums in the Top 10 at the same time.
Prince’s “SNL” appearance will be complemented by former cast member Chris Rock, who will host.
