Sixteen-time\u00a0Grammy-winning producer and songwriter\u00a0David Foster\u00a0will celebrate his 75th birthday with a special concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, November 3. The event, called \u201cYou\u2019re the Inspiration,\u201d (from the Chicago hit Foster produced and co-wrote with Peter Cetera) will feature Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bubl\u00e9, Josh Groban, Jennifer Hudson, Charlie Puth, Kristin Chenoweth, Tori Kelly, Katharine McPhee, Matteo Bocelli, Chris Botti, Kenny G, Paul Anka, Brian McKnight, Pia Toscano, and more artists to be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the best way to describe the night is to expect the unexpected \u2014 I am going to work hard to try and make it a show that I would like to attend if I wasn\u2019t involved!,\u201d Foster tells Variety. \u201cIn all honesty, it\u2019s a self-inflicted \u2018honor\u2019 \u2014 I think my manager Marc Johnston casually mentioned that we should do something special for my birthday, and that idea grew into a pretty incredible weekend, with also a big event the night before for my David Foster Foundation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aware 24\/7 that it is a big ask of all of these incredible artists, and I want to minimize their time needed,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt will be a lot of heavy lifting but so worth it in the end. My focus, of course, will be on all of the artists, not myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he and McPhee (his wife) will be touring the U.S. late this year, and his \u201cBoop! The Musical\u201d will be opening on Broadway in the spring of 2025.<\/p>\n

The event is produced by Live Nation-Hewitt Silva will produce the event, with tickets going on sale Friday June 28.<\/p>\n

Over the course of his 50-year career, Foster has cowritten and\/or produced such hits as Celine Dion\u2019s \u201cThe Power Of Love,\u201d Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cThe Bodyguard,\u201d Earth Wind and Fire\u2019s \u201cAfter the Love Is Gone,\u201d Chicago\u2019s \u201cYou\u2019re the Inspiration,\u201d Josh Groban\u2019s \u201cYou Raised Me Up,\u201d Michael Buble\u2019s \u201cHome,\u201d Natalie Cole\u2019s \u201cUnforgettable,\u201d and many more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
