Noel Gallagher lookalike offers VIP engineering support in British Gas 'Sally Can't Wait' campaign
Oasis superstar Noel Gallagher, currently on a sold-out comeback tour with brother Liam, composed some of the band's early hits, including Live Forever, in a British Gas storeroom
His career may have taken off at supersonic speed - but before that Noel Gallagher worked as a subcontractor for British Gas.
The Oasis superstar, currently on a sold-out comeback tour with brother Liam, even composed some of the band's early hits, including Live Forever, in a company storeroom.
With fans old and new singing along to Don't Look Back in Anger, the energy giant has delivered a playful tribute to its famous former employee - and to one of the song's most iconic lyrics.
Anyone named Sally won't have to wait as the company is offering same day VIP engineer support throughout Oasis' tour dates as part of a campaign inspired by the line 'So, Sally can wait.'
They'll also be in with a chance to win tickets to the Oasis gig at Scottish Gas Murrayfield in Edinburgh, where a Noel Gallagher lookalike has been spotted unveiling a special 'Sally Can't Wait Fast Track Gate'.
A spokesperson for British Gas said: 'Whether it's a broken boiler or getting to the gig on time, we're here when it matters most.
'This is a fun way to spotlight the fast, reliable service we offer - including same-day support for urgent issues - while giving a little love to the Sallys of the UK.
'And with Noel having once worked as a subcontractor himself, it felt only right to get him - or at least his British Gas engineer lookalike – involved.'
If you're not named Sally, you can still get same day service from British Gas for a boiler breakdown if you call before 11am.
