LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Famed U.S. guitarist Stephen Stills underwent successful surgery for prostate cancer in Los Angeles Thursday, his wife has revealed.

"Stephen's procedure went remarkably well and he couldn't be better. He will be home by noon (Friday) and the pain will be minimal," Stills' wife, Kristen, said in a statement.

The recording artist is scheduled to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Utah for the Jan. 25 world premiere of "CSNY / Deja vu," a feature film Bernard Shakey shot during Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 2006 "Freedom of Speech" tour.

Stephen Stills is also scheduled to begin a North American solo tour this spring in support of his recently released "Just Roll Tape" album on Rhino Records.

Stills is the only artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two times on the same night. He was recognized for his work with Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Buffalo Springfield.
