(CBS/AP) Wynonna Judd is going back on tour after her husband lost his left leg in a motorcycle crash.

She said in a statement that husband Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser "continues to improve every day as he begins his road to rehabilitation."

Moser is also her drummer.

"We are looking forward to the day when we will be back together on stage again and I believe we will be stronger than ever," Judd explained. "Until then I will be out on the road with the rest of the band while I wait lovingly and patiently for my husband to return to The Big Noise."

Moser was injured Aug. 18 in South Dakota. He was airlifted to a hospital, and doctors amputated his leg.

Instead of gifts, the couple is asking people to donate in Moser's name to Homes For Our Troops. The organization helps members of the military with serious disabilities. The couple wed in June at her home in Leipers Fork, Tenn.

Judd's tour resumes Thursday in Michigan. She has also rescheduled shows that she missed because of the accident.
