Farewell to J.R.

NEW YORK — J.R. Ewing will get a send-off with a proper funeral on Dallas.

TNT begins the second season of its Dallas revival next month. The network said Tuesday that it will hold a funeral for Larry Hagman’s memorable character at some point in the 15-episode season but that it hasn't been filmed or scheduled yet. Hagman died at age 81 over the Thanksgiving weekend.

A TNT spokesman says the network isn’t saying how Ewing will be killed off in the series. Hagman kept working until soon before his death from complications of cancer, and will appear in several of the new season’s episodes.

Hagman’s character is a television icon dating back to the “Who Shot J.R.?” episodes in the 1980s.

The eclectic group of rockers Rush and Heart, rappers Public Enemy, songwriter Randy Newman, “Queen of Disco” Donna Summer, and bluesman Albert King will be inducted into the hall of fame next April in Los Angeles.

The ceremony will mark the end of a long wait for fans of five of the six acts, who’ve been eligible for entry for some time. Public Enemy was inducted on its first ballot appearance, swelling the ranks of hip-hop entries to four.

Quincy Jones and Lou Adler will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award given for contributions beyond performance.

The inductees were announced Tuesday by 2012 inductee Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers at a news conference in Los Angeles.
