Foster revealed that the idea for this extravagant birthday celebration emerged informally, citing situations like dining out as examples of where ideas tend to come to them immediately. Foster believed Mark, his manager, had suggested a birthday celebration for him.
Foster's manager began contacting several musicians, which quickly gave momentum to what had begun as an idea.
David was thrilled with the extremely favorable response. Foster told PEOPLE, "He started asking people if they'd come and gosh, they all started saying yes. 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."
Foster thanked them and said that they really realize that it takes a lot of work for them to do this and that it keeps putting demands on their schedule.
