David Letterman, Larry David, More Reportedly Among Celebs Cut From Barack Obama's 60th Birthday Bash Guest List
Former President Barack Obama celebrated his 60th with an epic birthday bash at a Martha's Vineyard mansion on Saturday night, but not everyone was allowed to join in on the eagerly anticipated festivities.
OK! previously reported that due to concerns surrounding the Delta variant of COVID-19, the massive get-together would have to be scaled back to "close family and friends" only, and unfortunately, that meant many guests were uninvited to attend.
An official spokesperson said that the A Promised Land author is "appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon."
According to the CDC, the Delta variant is extremely contagious, and "nearly twice as contagious as previous variants". It has been reported in two separate studies that "patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with Alpha or the original virus strains."
