Is Jackson suffering from lung disease?

LOS ANGELES The author of an upcoming biography on the singer claims the 50-year-old performer is suffering from a rare lung disease that has left him nearly blind in one eye.

Author Ian Halperin also says Jackson is in desperate need of a lung transplant.

Jackson's people say the allegations are just an attempt to promote an unauthorized biography on the singer.

They call the report a total fabrication and say Jackson is healthy and currently planning a world tour.
