Reports state that Evans also worked as a male model around this time. Evans and Paice were original members of Deep Purple when they formed in Hertfordshire in 1968. 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.
