NEW YORK (AP) -- Prince is continuing to ramp up his public profile. This week, he'll make an appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

A representative for the late-night talk show confirmed the pop legend will appear on the show Friday and will perform two songs. It's not clear whether he will perform new material or some of his classics.

The reclusive star has been back in the spotlight recently. He presented record of the year trophy at the Grammys, released the song "Screwdriver" on his new website and is due to perform several dates in Europe this summer.
