US singer Chris Brown was granted bail by a London court yesterday over a charge of serious assault after promising to pay a $6.7 million security fee, clearing the way for his world tour to begin next month.
Brown has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an ‘unprovoked attack’ on music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
The 36-year-old has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge. He was not present at Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner granted him bail.
The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as Loyal, Run It and Under the Influence, is set to kick off his ‘Breezy Bowl XX’ tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
