Due to some problems, they've had to postpone that and concentrate on other things."Once they iron out all their current problems, they'll move forward with that. It's still on the cards."But Phoenix urges fans not to believe everything they read or hear about the Jacksons' financial struggles: "Financially, they're doing fine. They're not the multi-millionaires that they used to be, but they're all doing fine."
