Chris Brown has been granted bail following allegations that he attacked a man at a London nightclub.
The U.S. singer was granted bail by a London court on Wednesday less than a week after being charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.
The charge stems from an alleged incident on 19 February 2023, in which Brown is accused of assaulting music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at Tape nightclub located in London’s Mayfair district.
The Forever hitmaker was not present at Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner approved his bail.
Brown has not yet been required to enter a plea.
The 36-year-old had been in custody since he was arrested at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester on 15 May, which was his first return to the U.K. since the alleged assault, as he was denied bail at his first court hearing on Friday.
However, he was granted release on Wednesday on the condition that he pay a $5.4 million (£4 million) security fee immediately, with an additional $1.3 million (£1 million) due within seven days.
The new development means the Loyal singer will be able to begin his Breezy Bowl XX tour on 8 June in the Netherlands as planned. He is set to begin the U.K. leg of his tour in Manchester on 15 June.
As part of his bail conditions, he must surrender his passport when not on tour, not contact the alleged victim or visit the Tape nightclub.
Brown is next due to appear in court alongside his co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, aka HoodyBaby, on 20 June.
