According to a statement released yesterday (Mon. 8/20), Michael Scott “Cactus” Moser, husband of Wynonna Judd, has lost his leg due to a motorcycle accident he had on Saturday (8/18). Moser’s left leg was severed at the scene of the accident and doctors in Rapid City, SD amputated the leg above the knee. He has also undergone surgery to his hand.
Judd has postponed her scheduled concerts in Canada this week due to the serious motorcycle accident involving her husband and drummer.
Moser and Judd went for a ride together on separate bikes before her scheduled concert in Deadwood, SD on Saturday. Moser collided with an oncoming vehicle and was transported to a local hospital. He is being treated for serious but non-life threatening injuries. Wynonna was not involved in the accident.
“The outpouring of prayer and support from friends, family and fans has been a blessing to both Cactus and I. Cactus is a champion. I love him deeply and I will not leave his side,” said Wynonna.
Judd and Moser extend their appreciation to all of the quick medical and police responders as well as the hospital staff and well- wishers from family, friends and fans.
Wynonna married Moser on June 10, 2012 during a ceremony at her Leiper’s Fork farm.
