In the late 1960s he began his professional career in The Maze, formerly MI5, after which he was a member of the original Deep Purple line-up who produced three studio albums with a more progressive and pop-driven sound. After recording a solo single, he was a member of the original Captain Beyond line-up, who produced two studio albums. After a legal struggle with Deep Purple in 1980, Evans turned reclusive and disappeared from public life. Early careerEvans was born in Eton, Buckinghamshire.[1][2] He played together with drummer Ian Paice in The Maze, formerly MI5. He was also in a band called The Horizons in the mid 1960s. Reports state that Evans also worked as a male model around this time. He was tall and had good posture. Evans and Paice were original members of Deep Purple when they formed in Hertfordshire in 1968.[3] According to Deep Purple's original bassist Nick Simper, Evans was hired after "dozens" of other singers were auditioned. The most recognised song recorded with Evans singing is "Hush", which reached No. 4 on the US Billboard charts in October 1968. After recording three studio albums, he was dismissed in 1969.[3] In the summer of 1969 while on tour in the U.S., it was decided by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice, and Jon Lord that Rod Evans' pop vocal style would not be suitable for the heavier hard rock sound the band wanted to achieve and move toward.[4] Another factor in Evans departure from Deep Purple was in part due to his desire to move to the United States.[5] Captain BeyondIn 1971, Evans recorded a solo single for Capitol,[6] titled "Hard To Be Without You" (b/w "You Can't Love A Child Like A Woman"), then went on to form Captain Beyond, along with former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman and guitarist Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt, who also was part of the last incarnation of Iron Butterfly. Evans left Captain Beyond and the music business after their first two albums. He then became a director of respiratory therapy at a western American hospital until 1980.[7] Deep Purple controversy and lawsuitIn 1980, Evans was approached by a management company which specialised in questionably-reformed bands with well-known names, and he began to tour under the Deep Purple name accompanied by former members of Steppenwolf and unknown session musicians. The line up was Rod Evans (vocals), Tony Flynn (guitar), Tom de Rivera (bass), Geoff Emery (keyboards), and Dick Jurgens III (drums), son of famous big band leader Dick Henrey Jurgens.[8] After several shows ended in near riots,[9] Evans was sued by the management of the genuine Deep Purple and they were awarded damages of US $672,000 (US${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|672,000|1980}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}). As a result of the lawsuit, Evans no longer receives royalties from the band's first three albums. Later lifeHe has not appeared publicly since the court case and his current whereabouts are of considerable interest to fans of early Deep Purple.[9] In 2015, Ian Paice said, "If anyone knows where Rod is or even if he is still on the planet, that would be good news. We haven't had contact with him since the late 1970s. Nobody seems to know where the hell he is, or even if he is still alive. Not a clue."[10] In a 2015 interview, Captain Beyond drummer Bobby Caldwell mentioned that he was in touch with Evans and that Evans is "just doing fine these days" and had worked in the medical profession for a long time.[11] On 8 April 2016, Evans was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple. He did not attend the ceremony. DiscographySolo
