Police arrested Chris Brown on suspicion of causing “grievous bodily harm” to music producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in London back in February 2023. Brown was arrested just after 2 AM at the Lowry Hotel.
The 36-year-old flew into Manchester Airport on a private jet on Wednesday afternoon, likely to begin rehearsals for his tour. The tour is slated to begin its UK leg on June 15 in Manchester. British tabloid The Sun contacted authorities after confirming Brown was in the country, asking if he would be placed under arrest for the 2023 incident. After receiving the tip, detectives travelled to Manchester to place the R&B star under arrest.
Diaw launched a civil suit against Brown for £12 million ($16 million) in damages for injuries and losses suffered as a result of the attack. Brown remains in custody since his arrest. The investigation into the incident is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.
That leaves the future of Brown’s upcoming tour—Breezy Bowl XX, a celebration of his 20-year career—uncertain. The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 8 in Amsterdam, before heading to the UK, with dates in Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff, London, and Birmingham.
