Back in June, Foster spoke to PEOPLE about his 75th birthday plans.

“You know how some ideas just come up at a restaurant or whatever? I think it was my manager Mark who said, ‘We should do something for your birthday!'” he said.

“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,” he continued. “So it’s going to be the big blow-up.”
