8 years ago this month, Liam Gallagher was the voice of a snowman for a UK environmental group
https://www.nme.com/news/music/liam-gallagher-alternative-christmas-advert-2171218
Liam Gallagher has narrated an “alternative Christmas advert” from the Climate Coalition.
The advert is part of the organisation’s ‘Show The Love’ campaign and depicts a snowman melting to show the effects of climate change.
“It’s winter, and it’s cold this time of year isn’t it?” Gallagher says in the clip. “Maybe you want to snuggle up with a hot chocolate or wrap up warm and wear your biggest coat. But in the grand scheme of things, our Earth is too hot, and it’s getting even hotter.”
The short film was produced by famed photographer Rankin and animated by Jelly London. Rankin says: “We were over the moon to have the iconic voice of Liam to give the piece a twist and really get it noticed.”

Liam Gallagher is the voice of Sammy the Snowman, who is melting in the wintertime due to rising global temperatures, in a new public service announcement. The short animated clip was made by United Kingdom environmental advocacy group, Climate Coalition, NME reports.
“It might feel chilly, and the wind might bite at your nose,” the former Oasis rocker said. “… But in the grand scheme of things, our earth is too hot, and it’s getting even hotter. Our seasons are getting confused, lots of birds are nesting earlier and spring flowers are coming out too soon.”
Sammy the Snowman is soon reduced to a puddle. “We have hope,” says Gallagher. “Together we can protect [the things we love].” The Sammy the Snowman video was filmed by the photographer Rankin for the Climate Coalition.
