Biography

---

Dave Evans, who was known as a loner in secondary school, took piano and guitar lessons and often performed with his brother Dik Evans before they both answered an ad posted by Larry Mullen, Jr. seeking musicians to form a rock band. This band would go through several incarnations before emerging as U2 in March 1978 (Dik Evans left the band just before the name change).

The Edge married his secondary school girlfriend Aislinn O'Sullivan. The couple had three daughters together: Hollie, Arran and Blue Angel. The Edge and O'Sullivan separated in 1991 but could not divorce due to Irish law. They were divorced in 1996, after divorce was legalized in 1995.
