Ford told fans, ‘It’s a special honor for me to be able to congratulate John on his 90th birthday. I told John on another occasion when we had a chance to be together that that music follows me everywhere I go.

‘And you know what? I’m happy about it. That music was playing on the speakers of the operating room when I had my last colonoscopy … I passed.’

Ford spoke kindly of the legendary composer, and told the crowd, ‘We have almost completed the next Indiana Jones film, featuring the music of John Williams.’
