Singer Chris Brown was granted bail by a London court on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, on a charge of serious assault, paving the way for his world tour to commence next month.
The R&B star, aged 36, was released after promising to pay a £5 million (approximately R120.9 million) security fee.
Brown faces a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm, stemming from an alleged “unprovoked attack” on music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.
He has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge and was not present at Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner granted his bail.
The two-time Grammy Award winner, is scheduled to begin his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
Brown was arrested last week at a hotel in Manchester, northern England, upon his return to Britain for the first time since the alleged incident two years ago.
Initially refused bail on Friday, May 16, 2025, he was granted it on Wednesday on the condition of an initial payment of £4 million (approximately R96.7 million), with the remaining £1 million (approximately R24.2 million) due within seven days. As part of his bail conditions, Brown is also required to surrender his passport, except for travel related to his tour.
His next court appearance is scheduled for June 20, 2025, at London’s Southwark Crown Court.
