Chris Brown confirms green light on tour after posting $6.7-million bail in U.K. assault case
Chris Brown is about to go, in his own words, 'from cage to stage.' The controversial R&B star on Wednesday confirmed in an Instagram story that he is moving forward with his upcoming Breezy Bowl tour next month after its status seemed uncertain amid his arrest last week in Manchester, England. The 'Kiss Kiss' singer was released Wednesday from a jail in Salford, outside of Manchester, on $6.7-million bail. Southwark Crown Court judge Tony Baumgartner said in a hearing that the Grammy winner could embark on his tour, which is set to kick off June 8 in Amsterdam and will make numerous U.K. stops, including three shows in Manchester. Baumgartner required Brown (who was not present) to pay the bail to guarantee his court appearance. Prior to Wednesday's hearing, a British judge had denied the 36-year-old musician's bail request and ordered him to remain in custody in London until a June 13 hearing. That would have conflicted with the early stops on his tour. Brown was arrested May 15 in a Manchester hotel on suspicion of causing 'grievous bodily harm,' a charge that stems from a February 2023 incident in Hanover Square, police confirmed to The Times last week. Though officials did not disclose additional details about the arrest — including the nature and location of the central incident — the charge closely resembles allegations a music producer levied against Brown in an October 2023 civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Music producer Amadou 'Abe' Diaw sued Brown for assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, claiming in court documents the singer 'brutally assaulted' him by 'beating him over the head' with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila on Feb. 19, 2023, at Tape London, a nightclub. Diaw claims Brown 'continued to ruthlessly stomp' on him as he lay unconscious on the nightclub floor after the bottle attack. Diaw's suit also names Live Nation, Sony, RCA Records and musician Omololu Akinlolu (who performs as HoodyBaby) among the co-defendants. Akinlolu also joined Brown in kicking him in the stomach and legs during the 2023 incident, Diaw alleged in his lawsuit. Akinlolu was charged over the weekend with causing grievous bodily harm in connection to the 2023 assault. Neither of the musicians have entered a plea yet in the U.K. case and both are ordered to return to court on June 20. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Breezy Is Free : Chris Brown Granted Bail By London Court
Source: Gallo Images / Getty According to BBC, Chris Brown was let out on bail this week after being charged with seriously hurting someone in a London nightclub last year. The person he's accused of attacking is music producer Abe Diaw. Brown had been in custody for a short time, but now he's been released while the case moves forward. This all happened right before his big summer tour, and fans were worried it might be canceled. With the R&B superstar out on bail, it looks like the shows are still happening. His first concert, called the Breezy Bowl, is scheduled for June 8 and will kick off the tour. Not much has been shared about what went down in the club, but the charge he's facing is pretty serious. Even though the case isn't over, Brown's team says he's working with the authorities and is staying focused on his music and upcoming shows. After being released on bail, his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour is kicking off as planned. The first show starts June 8, 2025, in Amsterdam, and he'll be performing all across Europe until July 5, ending in Paris. Then he's heading to North America, starting July 30 in Miami. Fans can look forward to big performances and special guests like Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller.
