R&B star Chris Brown is poised to reapply for bail on Wednesday, May 21, following a serious assault charge that could put his highly anticipated 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour in jeopardy.
The artist, known for his hit "Under the Influence”, was detained in the UK after being accused of an unprovoked assault on music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in London in 2023.
Last weekend, Manchester Magistrates’ Court denied Brown bail, with the presiding judge citing the grave nature of the allegations.
Prosecutors have described the incident as particularly violent, claiming that Brown struck Diaw with a bottle and continued to assault him while he lay injured on the ground.
With Brown yet to enter a plea, the case has quickly escalated, leading to heightened concerns over his upcoming concert dates.
On Thursday, May 15, hours after arriving in the UK, Brown was arrested by the Metropolitan Police in Manchester under suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
The timing of his detention, shortly after his arrival, suggests law enforcement acted on intelligence regarding his travel plans.
Brown’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 13 at Southwark Crown Court after his bail application was pushed back.
Despite the looming charges, the artist's schedule remains packed - he is slated to perform in Amsterdam on June 8, followed by Hamburg on June 11, and Frankfurt on June 13.
As it stands, none of his tour dates have been cancelled or rescheduled, leaving fans eager for the performances ahead.
As legal drama unfolds, this latest incident is yet another chapter in Brown's tumultuous year, marked by multiple lawsuits and controversies.
A successful plea deal could offer a glimmer of hope for the artist, potentially allowing him to navigate through what has been a challenging period and keep his tour on track.
