London – A British judge ordered Grammy winning singer Chris Brown released with a bail of 5 million pounds ($ 6.7 million) on Wednesday while facing accusations that defeated and seriously injured A music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
A judge’s decision in Southwark Crown Court revives Brown’s world tour that was released in doubt when another judge ordered him detained after he was accused last week of causing serious bodily damage with intention.
Judge Tony Baumgartner said Brown could continue with this tour, including several stops in the United Kingdom, but he would have to pay the bond to guarantee his appearance in court.
Brown was initially scheduled to appear again on June 13. If it had been held until then, Brown would have lost at least two dates on his next tour, which begins next month in Europe.
Brown, 36, is accused of launching an attack not caused against producer Abe Diaw in the film nightclub in the elegant neighborhood of Mayfair in February 2023 while on the last tour.
Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls said last week in the Court of Manchester magistrates that Brown hit Diaw several times with a bottle and then hit him and kicked him in an attack trapped in a surveillance camera in front of a club full of people.
The American musician Omololu Akinlolu, 38, who appears under the name of “Hoody Baby” and is a friend of Brown, was also accused in the attack.
Neither Brown nor Akinlolu has yet presented a plea. Both men were ordered to appear in court again on June 20.
Brown, who broke into the music scene when he was a teenager in 2005, won his first Grammy for Best RANDB Album in 2011 for “Fame” and then obtained his second in the same category for “11:11 (Deluxe)” earlier this year.
His successes include songs like “Run It”, “Kiss Kiss” and “Without you.”
His tour will begin on June 8 at Amsterdam before starting the shows of North America in July.
