Lady Gaga appeals for Americans to 'fight for your future'

Pop star Lady Gaga has become the latest celebrity to give her endorsement to Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, following in the footsteps of Beyoncé, Jay Z and Bruce Springsteen.

Speaking at a rally on the eve of Election Day, Lady Gaga appealed for all Americans to "fight for your future" and support Clinton.

She said: "Sometimes I feel like I've been asleep.

"I could never have fathomed that I would experience in my lifetime that a woman would become president of the United States.

"During this election we watched her endure such hateful language with dignity. She stood with pride as she was shamed by her opponent, whose angry divisive approach to campaigning divided our entire country.

"What I'm asking you... is to fight for your future and the future of our children."
