For Barack Obama’s 60th birthday, the former president is hosting a shindig at the famed Martha’s Vineyard this coming weekend, and while it had been reported that Pearl Jam would be one of the acts performing, Fox News has learned that is not the case. "Pearl Jam is not performing at Obama's 60th birthday party this weekend," a spokesperson for the rock band, which has also performed under the bill "Mookie Blaylock," said on Monday. News of the birthday party – which will reportedly include 475 of the former president’s closest guests – drew the ire of critics on social media, who characterized the move as hypocritical in light of the new guidance on the delta variant. According to Axios, the event will include "friends, family and former aides – and 200-plus staff planning to work the part."
