David Foster loves performing with his wife.
The writer and producer has multiple dates scheduled during December and January in California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts with his spouse Katharine McPhee, 40, and David, 75, admitted performing is a nice change from being in the studio alone.
He told Variety: "I am a workaholic and I move around a lot.
"Kat and I started touring together four or five years ago. It’s a nice little show and we talk about our lives and how we got together.
“For the longest time, I was in the studio just pounding out music. The artists got to go and enjoy our work and get feedback from a live audience, while I just kept staying in the studio and doing more records. So it was great to finally get out there and perform these songs with Kat.”
David also came out of producing retirement recently to work on Jennifer Hudson’s new Christmas album and said: "That was a lot of fun. I really haven’t made a record in 10 years, and it took a lot for somebody to talk me out of retirement. It’s a great record."
David also revealed how his career changed after he stopped producing records, including the offer to write music for 'Boop!', the musical-comedy adaptation of Dave Fleischer’s 1930s cartoon character Betty Boop.
He said: "I didn’t want to stop working. [Producer] Bill Haber asked me, and of course I said yes. It sounded like a good challenge because, for Broadway, you don’t have to write a hit song; you just have to write a good song. And I still felt capable of writing a good song. In fact, we just had a Zoom yesterday, and I have to write a new song. It’s a moving target, as you probably know."
