R&B singer Chris Brown has been freed on bail after he was charged over an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub two years ago.

The American musician, 36, can continue with his scheduled international tour this year, including in the UK in June and July, as part of his bail conditions, Judge Tony Baumgartner told Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday.

Brown must pay a £5 million security fee to the court, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions.

The Go Crazy singer is accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023.

He did not appear in court for the bail application hearing.
