Foster affectionately calls his upcoming birthday bash “the big blow-up,” reflecting the magnitude of the celebration. The idea for this extravagant affair sprouted organically, as many great ideas do, during casual conversations over meals. Foster mentioned that his manager, Mark, initially floated the idea of a birthday celebration.
What started as a simple suggestion quickly gained traction. Foster’s manager began reaching out to various musicians, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. “He started asking people if they’d come and, gosh, they all started saying yes,” Foster told PEOPLE. “It’s a big deal for them to do this and it’s still taxing on their schedule, so I appreciate it very much. So it’s going to be the big blow-up.”
