Thomas Evans (5 June 1947 – 19 November 1983) was an English musician who was born in Liverpool, England, grew up in a working-class family, and was part of The Calderstones before joining the Iveys/Badfinger. He was best known for his work as the bassist of the band Badfinger. He also co-wrote their 1970 song "Without You," which has been recorded by over 180 artists — most notably Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey. Evans died by suicide in 1983, one of two members to do so, the first being Pete Ham in 1975.
