Chris Brown's UK tour to continue

It looks like Chris Brown will be going ahead with the Breezy Bowl following his release. The 36-year-old American singer made headlines after he was arrested and charged with assault in connection with a 2023 incident where the star allegedly attacked music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle in a London club.

Brown, who is popular for hit songs like Loyal, Under The Influence and Superhero, was reportedly arrested at a hotel in Manchester after returning to England for the first time since the incident two years ago.

According to Reuters, the megastar who broke records following his historic back-to-back concerts in Johannesburg in December last year was supposed to stay behind bars until 13 June 2025. Brown was initially refused bail on Friday, but was granted bail on Wednesday on the condition he pay 4 million pounds, with a further 1 million pounds due in seven days.

The With You hitmaker was ordered to pay the amount as a financial guarantee to ensure he returns to court on 20 May. The judge also asked Brown to surrender his passport, but he is allowed to use it when travelling for the tour, which will kick off on 8 June in Amsterdam.
