The American artist was arrested almost a week ago in Manchester, suspected of having assaulted a music producer in connection with a nightclub visit in London 2023.

He was detained on May 16, but has now been granted bail by a judge in south London, according to BBC. Brown was not present at the bail hearing. The artist must now pay £5 million, 65 million Swedish kronor, in bail to be released.

The assault is said to have taken place in London in February 2023 when Chris Brown was on tour. The artist is accused of having hit music producer Abe Diaw with a tequila bottle.

The British legal process comes inconveniently for Chris Brown who is set to embark on a world tour next month with Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller, with a premiere in Amsterdam on June 8. No Swedish concerts have been announced.

According to BBC, the bail agreement with the British court means that the artist will be able to perform his tour.

Chris Brown broke through as a teenager with the song "Run it" in 2005. He was sentenced to five years' probation in 2009 for assaulting his then-girlfriend, artist Rihanna.
