US singer Chris Brown has been freed on bail by a court in London after being charged with inflicting an “unprovoked attack” in a nightclub in 2023.<\/p>\n
The Grammy-winning 36-year-old star, who has not yet been asked to enter a plea in the case, is able to begin his world tour next month as planned as part of his bail conditions.<\/p>\n
He was arrested last week and later charged with grievous bodily harm over an incident in which he allegedly attacked a music producer with a tequila bottle.<\/p>\n
He was not present at Southwark Crown Court for Wednesday’s bail hearing, at which the judge said he must pay a \u00a35m security fee to the court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A security fee is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court. Brown could be asked to forfeit the money if he breaches bail conditions.<\/p>\n
The musician had been held in custody since being arrested in Salford last Thursday, and was initially refused bail on Friday.<\/p>\n
But bail was granted on Wednesday, on the condition that he pay \u00a34m immediately, with a further \u00a31m due in seven days.<\/p>\n
His tour is scheduled to start in Amsterdam on 8 June, with stadium and arena dates in Manchester, London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Glasgow later that month and in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
