Chris Brown, an American rapper and rapper, was ordered released on bail on Wednesday on the condition that he give a UK court a £5 million guarantee before being ordered to pay the charge.
The judge granted Brown’s bail, allowing him to continue on his scheduled international tour, which is scheduled to begin on June 8 in Amsterdam, according to his bail terms.
The £5 million will be forfeited if he doesn’t make a trip back to the UK, where he will play a number of concerts starting on June 15.
Brown, who was not in court for the bail hearing, will also have play dates in 2025 in Europe, including France and the United States.
In connection with an assault in which the victim was allegedly struck several times with a bottle before being pursued, punched, and kicked, he was charged last week with “grievous bodily harm with intent.”
While Brown was on a UK tour, the alleged assault took place on February 19, 2023 at a nightclub in Hanover Square in London.
After he reportedly entered Manchester via a private jet, police arrested him at a five-star hotel in the city’s northwest on May 13.
Judge Tony Baumgartner at Southwark Crown Court in London also ordered that he be freed on bail and that he must turn in his passport if he isn’t traveling.
He is prohibited from visiting the nightclub where the alleged assault took place or from speaking with the alleged victim, Abraham Diah, at a specific address that the court has approved.
On June 20, Brown and his co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 38, will appear in court again for grievous bodily harm with intent.
Brown is renowned for his mid-2000s hits like “Kiss, Kiss” and a plethora of legal issues, including a felony conviction for 2009 assaulting Rihanna’s ex-girlfriend.
With his rich R&, B voice, and later rap, he rose from a nearby church choir in Virginia to acclaim fame, but the abuse allegations have tarnished his reputation.
