Prince made a rare TV appearance yesterday on Saturday Night Live, his first performance on the show since 2006.

Usually musical guests on the show perform two songs, but Prince, never one Watch the epic performance here.

The star was joined by his band 3rdEyeGirl and singer Lianne La Havas as he showscased his two new studio albums, Plectrumelectrum and Art Official Age. They played tracks ‘Clouds’, ‘Plectrum Electrum’, ‘Marz’, and ‘Another Love’, with Prince dividing his time between piano and guitar.
