Singer Sam Smith has further fueled speculation he will be singing the theme song for new James Bond film 'Spectre' after donning a ring with the film's logo on.

Smith, 23, posted an image of a hand wearing a solid silver ring emblazoned with the Spectre logo on his Twitter page in the biggest hint yet as to who will be singing the intro to the newest Bond film.

Smith's tweet drew an excited reaction from fans:

Other names that had been associated with the film were Ellie Goulding and Radiohead but after Smith's far from mysterious post it seems the winner of the theme song battle has already been chosen.

The singer of this year's October release Bond installment will be following in the footsteps of singers such as Adele and Shirley Bassey in recording the opening music for the famous spy films.
