Sam Smith has been confirmed to sing the theme tune for upcoming James Bond movie Spectre.

Sam Smith described the prestigious job as "one of the highlights" of his career. "I am honoured to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song," he said.

The multi-platinum selling singer has co-written "Writing's On the Wall" with fellow Grammy winner Jimmy Napes. It is the first James Bond theme recorded by a British male solo artist since Tom Jones did "Thunderball" in 1965.

"I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible line-up of some of my biggest musical inspirations. I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I enjoyed making it."

Spectre producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, called Smith's song "inspirational" and "surely one of the greatest Bond songs of all time".
