"Prince will perform on the grand final of this year&amp;#039;s X Factor, it has been claimed. According to the Daily Mail, the &amp;#039;1999&amp;#039; singer-songwriter will fly to London for the show during his &amp;#039;Welcome 2 America&amp;#039; US concert tour in December. A source told the newspaper: &amp;quot;Simon Cowell had been trying to get Prince on the show for so long, he is a massive fan and it is a big coup. &amp;quot;At the moment the plans are being kept under wraps - but it will make for the biggest X Factor final ever seen.&amp;quot; It was suggested that Prince had previously been sought for a guest judge position on the show, but the source added: &amp;quot;Simon wanted Prince on the show any way possible. An appearance at the final will be fantastic.&amp;quot; Last year&amp;#039;s X Factor final featured guest performances from Michael Bubl\u00E9, Robbie Williams and George Michael, who dueted with Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs and Joe McElderry respectively.
