Sir Mick Jagger has urged his American fans to vote in Tuesday’s presidential election, as he threw his support behind Kamala Harris.
The legendary Rolling Stones star, 81, took to his Instagram on Monday, the final day of campaigning ahead of polls opening on Tuesday.
He shared two sweet snaps with six of his eight children as he reminded people to vote and revealed his kids were backing Kamala.
One photo saw Sir Mick joined by his four daughters, Karis, 54, who he shares with Marsha Hunt, Jade, 43, from ex-wife Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth, 40, and Georgia May, 32, who he shares with Jerry Hall.
While the second saw him beaming alongside his son James, 39, from his relationship with Jerry and Lucas, 25, who he shares with model Luciana Gimenez Morad.

The rocker also shares son Gabriel, 26, with Jerry and youngest child Deveraux, seven, with his current partner, American ballerina Melanie Hamrick.
Despite not being eligible to vote in Tuesday’s election, Sir Mick has been vocal about the importance of voting, encouraging concertgoers at a Rolling Stones gig in May to not ‘take anything for granted!’
Addressing the crowd at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, he said: ‘Now we’ve got the vote song for you, which everyone got really involved in, I wanna thank you … so many people voted.
‘And what’s more important than that is, November, there’s a presidential election, so don’t forget to vote in that. Don’t take anything for granted!’
While he hadn’t previously voiced his support for a candidate, he has not been shy about levelling criticism at Donald Trump.
In 2020, Sir Mick and the rest of the Rolling Stones threatened they would sue the former President after he continued to play their songs at his rallies despite multiple cease and desist orders.
The Stones had complained during Trump’s 2016 campaign about the use of their music to fire up his conservative base at rallies.

Their beloved 1969 classic You Can´t Always Get What You Want was a popular song for his events.
The band released a statement that their legal team is working with music rights organization BMI to stop use of their material in Trump’s reelection campaign in 2020.
The Stones are been among a long list of artists who have demanded Trump’s campaign stopped using their music, including Prince, Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Rihanna, Neil Young, Aerosmith, Pharrell, George Harrison, Adele, R.E.M., Panic! At The Disco, Twisted Sister, and Elton John.
Sir Mick and Trump have also clashed on other issues such as climate change, with the singer blasting the controversial businessman as a polarizing and rude figure who is ‘tearing apart’ America’s environmental safeguards.
In 2019, the musician said America should be setting the environmental standard for the world to follow, but, under the leadership of Trump, Sir Mick believes environment controls are being decimated.
Accused the then-president of underplaying the threat of climate change, he said: ‘We are in a very difficult situation at the moment, especially in the US, where all the environmental controls that were put in place – that were just about adequate – have been rolled back by the current administration so much that they are being wiped out.
‘The US should be the world leader in environmental control but now it has decided to go the other way.
It comes as Trump and Harris are zigzagging across crucial swing states with one final day of campaigning ahead of the election.

Trump is rallying in three swing states of Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania on the last day of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Harris is hitting Philadelphia, Allentown and Pittsburgh with star-studded supporters including Oprah and Katy Perry.
A final poll by the New York Times released yesterday had Donald Trump behind Kamala Harris in four critical swing states: Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
They are tied in Michigan and Pennsylvania and Trump is up by one point in Arizona.
The Real Clear Polling average has Trump up over Harris nationally by 0.1 percent. This race may end up being the closet in U.S. history as a new TIPP poll has both candidates tied on 48 percent on the election eve.
And according to the betting markets, Trump has recaptured a slight lead over Harris with less than 48 hours until the polls close after a shock Iowa poll had him behind the VP in the solidly red state.
