In 1980, he was convinced to participate in a "reunion" of the band with a group of unknown musicians that flopped when the other band members took notice and filed a lawsuit. After the debacle, Evans returned to his medical practice and has since dropped all contact with the media or his former bandmates, to the point where he didn't even show up when Deep Purple was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

** Ritchie Blackmore ''also'' disliked the majority of ''Stormbringer''. In particular, he despised Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale's gradual shift toward a more FunkRock influenced style, which he infamously called "shoeshine music".
Added DiffLines:
** Likewise, most of the band have also distanced themselves from its follow-up ''The Battle Rages On...''. This was in large part due to the the state of the band at the time. Ian Gillan was practically forced back in against Blackmore's wishes after the lukewarm reception that his replacement Joe Lynn Turner had received. Though they did manage to finish the album, nobody was very happy with the end product. In fact, it was the final straw for Blackmore, who derisively called it "''The Cattle Grazes On''" before abruptly leaving during the album's tour.
** ''Everybody'' disliked the 1993 live album ''Come Hell or High Water'', which was recorded during the tour for ''The Battle Rages On...''. By this point, Blackmore's behavior had become beyond toxic, and he left the band forever less than a month after the album's recording. Not did Ritchie phone in his playing, not even bothering to play half of ''Highway Star'', but he also pulled stunts such as throwing drinks at cameramen, refusing to leave his dressing room and abruptly leaving without saying a word at the end of the show. The situation was so bad that Ian Gillan demanded that two full concerts worth of material be removed from circulation ''a full decade'' afterwards.

** Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, and Coverdale's Whitesnake are obvious examples, being ''at least'' as well-known as Purple.
** Roger Glover, despite not being a household name carved out an impressive career post-Purple - creating an acclaimed rock opera, as well as producing for bands such as Status Quo, Nazareth, Whitesnake, Elf and most famously, played a huge role in shaping metal history by producing Judas Priest's seminal ''Sin After Sin''.

Names The Same is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 14 (click to see context) :
* NamesTheSame: No, bassist Glenn Hughes of Marks III and IV isn't one of the Music/VillagePeople. And the album ''Stormbringer'' may not be related to Creator/MichaelMoorcock's work, or at least David Coverdale claims. In Ritchie Blackmore's case it's a nickname, he obviously isn't the first musician to be known as [[Music/JohnnyCash "The Man in Black"]].
