Brian ZiffShawn Mendes is heading back to SNL.

On May 4, he’ll be back on NBC’s Saturday Night Live for his second appearance as musical guest.  His first appearance came in 2016.

The show’s host that night will be former cast member Adam Sandler who, unbelievably, has never actually hosted the show before.

Shawn is currently on a world tour in support of his self-titled third album.  This weekend he’ll perform in Glasgow, Scotland and Manchester, England.   The Manchester show is notable because it was the news of the bombing at Ariana Grande‘s concert at that same venue in 2017 which inspired Shawn to write “Youth,” a song on his current album.
