On Tuesday, iconic Red Dirt country artist Brandon Jenkins released some concerning news to fans saying he would be undergoing open heart surgery. The plan was to go in to surgery by 8 AM and be out by noon, but that didn’t happen.
Brandon’s mom Wilma revealed that the singer experienced complications during surgery. Because of this, Jenkins had been in the operating room for a total of 14 hours. She wrote that his chest was still open and he was still sedated.
After the operation, Wilma said that Brandon had “several critical issues” that doctors would be dealing with over the next two days. She said that he is currently unconscious, and that his chest is still open.
Wilma provided another update on Brandon on Thursday (February 22). She once again reminded his fans that he is in “extremely critical” condition. source
On February 4, Brandon shared a photo of himself standing in the hospital when he heard the National Anthem performed at the Super Bowl.
Get well soon Brandon! We are all praying for you!
