LOS ANGELES -- Funeral services have been announced for Rick James, the funk singer best known for the hit "Super Freak."
The 56-year-old entertainer was found dead Friday.
A public viewing will be held Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Forest Lawn Memorial Park-Hollywood Hills, followed by a memorial service there at 11 a.m. Thursday.
His label's spokeswoman says James wanted everyone who loved him to be with him at the end and to celebrate his life.
An autopsy Saturday failed to determine the cause of death.
James had a history of cocaine addiction that led to two assault convictions in the 1990s and a two-year stretch in prison.
Coroner's officials are awaiting results of a toxicology test, which they say could take several weeks.
