UPDATE: According to Vulture, a source close to "Mad Men" said the Paul McCartney casting rumor is false.

Is music legend Sir Paul McCartney heading to AMC's "Mad Men" for a guest spot?

According to UK'sThe Daily Mail by way of The Sun, McCartney agreed to let the drama use his music and was offered a walk-on guest role.

"Action in the show has now reached the Swinging Sixties," a source told The Sun. "So it's only right that the man who was pivotal to the era is involved in the show."

Producers reportedly want to use McCartney's new solo music for the '60s-set popular series.

Maybe they'll use "Yesterday." Perhaps McCartney will show up as an old Jared Harris crony.

His 'new solo music' would be out of context for the 60's era "Mad Men."
