| Stephen Stills Fights Prostate Cancer
Music legend Stephen Stills, of Crosby, Stills & Nash fame, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Stills friend and fellow musician Graham Nash announced the news on Larry King's CNN talk-show. Nash phoned into the show to pay tribute to another friend, singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg who died of the disease earlier this week. Nash told King in a matter of fact manner "Unlike Danny, who left it too long to be seriously checked, Stephen found his at an early stage." It is unknown at this stage if Nash's announcement about Still was a slip of the tongue. Stills had not announced that he had the disease at that point. King had to ask a number of times if by Stephen he was talking about Stephen Stills and Nash confirmed that was who he meant.

Nash was a guest on the show to pay tribute to the late Dan Fogelberg, who had died of prostate cancer that week, when he let slip that Stills was also diagnosed with the cancer. Nash told King in a matter of fact manner "Unlike Danny, who left it too long to be seriously checked, Stephen found his at an early stage." Stills wife Kristen says all went well with the operation. "Stephen's procedure went remarkably well and he couldn't be better. He will be home by noon tomorrow and the pain will be minimal," she said. Stephen is planning to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on January 25th for the world premiere of the move 'CSNY/Déjà Vu' which documented the 2006 Crosby, Still, Nash & Young Freedom of Speech tour. .
