A London court allowed Chris Brown to post bail after charging him with serious assault. Police accused Brown of attacking music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle during a 2023 nightclub fight. Officers arrested the singer at a Manchester hotel when he came back to the UK for the first time since the incident happened. Judge Tony Baumgartner at Southwark Crown Court approved bail on Wednesday after earlier refusing the request on May 16. Brown must pay $6.7 million total, with $5.3 million due right away and the rest within seven days.
The bail decision lets Brown continue with his planned concert tour across Europe starting June 8 in the Netherlands. His Breezy Bowl XX tour can move forward as scheduled despite the pending criminal charges against him. Some observers think the court just wanted Brown's money rather than focusing on justice for the alleged victim. Court officials say their main goal is to make sure Brown appears for his trial date. Fans remain excited about seeing Brown perform even though the assault case remains unclear.
