Planning ahead, Evans says he has no designs for a subsequent collection at this time, however he is available to it should fans need more from him. “I believe on the off chance that I can sing and do my acting and appreciate them both, and individuals need to see me and stand by listening to me do these things, then, at that point, there’s not an obvious explanation for why I can’t do both,” he tells Individuals.
“They give me a great deal of joy, so in the event that individuals appreciate it, and they need to hear more, I have significantly more to give,” Evans adds.
