Chris Brown to remain in custody until June over 2023 London nightclub attack; Breezy Bowl tour in limbo
Chris Brown has been remanded in custody by a UK court following allegations that he attacked a music producer with a bottle in a central London nightclub.
The 36-year-old American R&B singer, known for chart-topping hits was arrested in the early hours of Thursday (May 15) morning at the Lowry Hotel in Salford. He had just arrived in the country ahead of his upcoming UK tour.
The Under the Influence hitmaker was arrested and has been remanded in custody. The incident in question allegedly took place at Tape, an exclusive nightclub in Hanover Square, London, on February 19, 2023.
Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls told the court that the alleged victim, music producer Abe Diaw, was standing at the club's bar when Brown launched an 'unprovoked attack,' striking him multiple times with a bottle. The injuries are said to amount to grievous bodily harm.
Chris Brown, a two-time Grammy winner and former partner of pop star Rihanna, is now facing serious legal proceedings in the UK. He has not yet entered a plea.
His arrest comes just weeks before he is scheduled to headline venues across the country on his Breezy Bowl XX tour. Dates include performances at Co-op Live in Manchester, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Villa Park in Birmingham, and Hampden Park in Glasgow.
It remains unclear whether the tour will proceed as planned. Fans and promoters alike now face uncertainty as the legal process unfolds.
Chris Brown's spokesperson has declined to comment at this stage.

'RIP to a real one': Fans accuse Taylor Swift of altering her face to match Travis Kelce's WAG aesthetic
's recent public appearance at a family wedding with boyfriend has ignited a fresh wave of internet speculation—not about their rumored engagement, but about Swift's changing appearance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The pop superstar, who has long remained silent on plastic surgery chatter, is now facing harsh criticism and curiosity from fans who claim her face 'looks weird' and 'overdone. ' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend family wedding amid engagement buzz On June 6, 2025, Swift and Kelce were photographed at the wedding of his cousin Tanner Corum and bride Samantha Peck. The glamorous couple looked picture-perfect, but it wasn't the romantic backdrop or their matching energy that drew the most attention online. Instead, some fans zeroed in on Swift's appearance, speculating that the 14-time Grammy winner may have had recent cosmetic procedures. 'She looks really weird lately,' a Reddit user posted. 'I feel like she got more plastic surgery, right?' Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing out how her 'cheeks look strange and overdone,' suggesting cheek fillers may be the cause. Fans react harshly: from cheek filler theories to Kardashian comparisons Swifties took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to share their concern. 'I don't remember her face ever being that full,' one fan wrote. Another speculated that her eyes looked 'a little weird' and that 'her face looks super tight like she can't make real emotions.' Some even compared her evolving look to iconic figures known for plastic surgery, saying, 'She be looking like Kris Jenner more and more every day,' and 'Yeah, she reminds me of Joan Rivers in her later years… already. ' Rather than slamming Swift entirely, a few fans offered a different take, wishing celebrities would be more transparent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'RIP to a real one,' one user wrote of Joan Rivers. 'People who get plastic surgery… should take notes… Own it.' Some observers blame Swift's look on her new 'WAG lifestyle' (wives and girlfriends of athletes), speculating that she may be altering her image to fit the glitz and aesthetic of the NFL world. 'She adapts so much to the people surrounding her and this also shows in her appearance imo,' one Redditor noted. Also Read: While Swift has yet to respond to the criticism, one thing is clear: even a wedding guest appearance alongside Kelce isn't safe from scrutiny in the social media age.
