He was married.
The frontman married Staci Felker in 2016 and she filed for divorce one month after he started touring with the “Tin Man” songstress. Stacy seemingly broke her silence on Evan and Lambert’s relationship via Instagram on Thursday, April 26, when she wrote on her Story, “PSA: If Stacy Felker can make it thorough this week, so can you.”

He went to tech school.
Before pursuing a career in music, Evan had dreams of becoming an electrician. In fact, he even spent time working in factories, paper mills and food plants. “It’s experiences like those that gave me some guts,” he told the Songwriters on Process blog in August 2017 of his previous jobs. “They make me feel confident in my songwriting because I know I’m writing about people who are real. I’ve had to work with these guys, drink beer with them.”
