The 'Live and Let Die' singer posted a video message on his website, in which he shared that his touring band had cast early ballots for the US president in recent days.

"We would like to urge you to get out there and vote. [It's] very important," McCartney said in the video statement. "Three of the guys [in my band] are Americanâ€¦ and they have voted already and you know who they voted for? Obama!"

The ex-Beatle added: "This is who we think you should vote for. Let's get him back into officeâ€¦ Get Back!"

McCartney has expressed support for the Obama administration in the past, even dedicating 'Michelle' to US First Lady Michelle Obama during a Washington DC concert in 2009.

"This is one that we think Barack might want to sing to someone in his house," McCartney joked at that Washington DC gig.

Bob Dylan also offered support for the Obama-Biden ticket at a Wisconsin show on Monday (November 5) by predicting that they will win in a "landslide".
