Stephen Stills, who had surgery for prostate cancer on his 63rd birthday, will remain hospitalized until Saturday, his publicist said Friday.

“Stephen is still in the hospital and will be released tomorrow. ... But, he is doing extremely well. Doctors wanted to keep him in for an extra night,” publicist Michael Jensen said.

Stills had initially hoped to be released on Friday.

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

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

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.
