UPDATE 8/20/12 @ 9:25 p.m.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Wynonna Judd's husband has lost his leg after a motorcycle crash in South Dakota.
Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser was riding a motorcycle on U.S. Highway 16 in the Black Hills on Saturday when he crossed the center line and hit a car. He was airlifted to a hospital.
A representative for Judd said Monday that Moser's leg was "severed at the scene of the accident" and that doctors have amputated his leg above his knee. Moser has also had surgery on his hand.
Judd, a Grammy-winning singer from Ashland, Ky., is postponing scheduled concerts in Canada as a result. Moser is a resident of Nashville, Tenn., and the drummer in the country singer's band.
The statement says the couple appreciates the "well-wishes from family, friends and fans."
Her publicist, Todd Brodginski, confirms that she married drummer Cactus Moser in a private family ceremony on Sunday. The wedding took place in Leipers Fork, Tenn.
This is the third marriage for the 48-year-old Judd. The couple had been dating since 2009. Judd divorced her second husband, D.R. Roach in 2007 after four years together. She has two children with her first husband, Arch Kelly III.
US Weekly first reported the news.
The Grammy-winning singer from Ashland, Ky., first gained fame as part of the duo The Judds with her mother, Naomi, before going solo. She has sold more than 10 million solo albums with hits including "No One Else on Earth" and "I Saw the Light."
