PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philly Pops has now been forced to suspend all planned performances at the Kimmel Cultural Campus as its debt piles up.

The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Kimmel Center (POKC) took the step on Friday after what it calls a multi-year effort to assist and accommodate the Pops.

The Pops missed a noon deadline to make a payment of $520,000.

It's money the Philly Pops says it doesn't have.
