Stephen Stills is OK after surgery

Stephen Stills, who had surgery for prostate cancer on his 63rd birthday, was expected to return home Friday, his wife said.

Stills, of Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes with Neil Young), had the operation Thursday in Los Angeles, said Kristen Stills in a statement.

“Stephen’s procedure went remarkably well and he couldn’t be better,” she said. “The pain will be minimal.”

The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist is scheduled to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Utah for the Jan. 25 world premiere of “CSNY Deja Vu,” the statement said. The movie was shot during the 2006 Freedom of Speech tour by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Stills is scheduled for a North American solo tour this spring in support of his recent “Just Roll Tape” album.
