The 16-time Grammy winner– who has written and composed music for everyone from Céline Dion to Whitney Houston and Madonna to Michael Bublé – is back on the road nine years after his first North American concert for his greatest-hits tour: An Intimate Evening with David Foster: The Hitman Tour. “A year-and-a-half ago, I made a decision to just step away from the recording studio – not to leave music at all, just to not sit in that room,” he says. “It was a glorious year-and-a-half, but I stayed busy every day touring Asia and doing the show Asia’s Got Talent and putting a couple television shows into development.” “Just that thing of making music – I just was honestly bored of myself and it was nobody’s doing but my own – it was self-imposed and it was a great, great, great thing for me to step away from that part of my brain,” he continues about his short hiatus. “It was really nice.” RELATED: David Foster Reveals He’s Put Collaboration with Sting ‘Out There’ But He Just Won’t Bite Foster also revealed it was Bublé who inspired him to get back to music. “Michael Bublé was the one that actually got me to come back into the studio,” he reveals. “We have a long history together that goes back 17 years – we made five albums together.” For more from David Foster on his greatest hits tour, pick up our Beautiful issue when it hits newsstands on Friday and check out all of our coverage on PEOPLE.com.
