Popular YouTuber Brandon Buckingham says he’s in intensive care for serious health issues and it’s “not looking good.”
Brandon Buckingham, a YouTuber known for his documentary and man-on-the-street style videos, has revealed a series of major emergency health concerns after months of hospital visits.
On November 21, the creator said he was in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.
“My heart is failing, my lungs are failing, my liver and kidneys are failing,” he said. “Things are not looking good my friends. I love you guys.”
Fans concerned after Brandon Buckingham health update
This follows couple of posts from the YouTuber dating back to Halloween 2025 when he uploaded a photo of himself in a hospital bed and a follow-up on X ten days later.
“I’m out of the hospital for now and my condition seems to have stabilized,” he said at the time. “God willing, in a few weeks I will be able to start improving.”
Unfortunately, things seem to have only gotten worse.
On November 19, Brandon updated fans again, revealing he was back in the hospital and the doctors were investigating.
“Doctor believes I have tuberculosis, septic pneumonia, and/or liver failure,” he explained.
Just eight weeks prior, the YouTuber noted how he wasn’t in a good headspace ever since his grandmother died.
“I have more people waiting for me in heaven than here on earth. I think God has a plan for me that I don’t understand. I love you grandma, say hi to Kyle for me. I wish I could die with you.”
Fellow YouTubers such as Atozy and Bowblax have voiced their support for Buckingham, but since his November 21 post about being in the ICU, Brandon has yet to share more information.
