Former Beatles star Paul McCartney has performed at the home of US president Barack Obama.

McCartney serenaded Obama’s wife Michelle, with the appropriately-titled track Michelle and a host of other tracks and was honoured with the Gershwin prize for Popular Song.

Fans of the musician could pay tribute to him with a music T-shirt bearing the classic The Beatles logo.

The president said that the singer and bassist had “helped to lay the soundtrack for an entire generation”.

McCartney expressed his pleasure at playing the White House, saying: “I don’t think there could be anything more special than to play here.”

Other stars to appear on the evening playing classic songs by The Beatles included Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Jack White and Dave Grohl.

The famous Liverpool band were recently given their own version of the popular videogame Rock Band, allowing fans to play along to their songs on their games console.
