Chris Brown Reportedly Denied Bail Following Arrest In England
Chris Brown might want to cancel any upcoming plans.
On Friday, a judge in Manchester, England denied bail for the American R&B star following his arrest Thursday. As a result, Brown is slated to remain in custody until June 13, according to the BBC.
Brown, 36, was taken into custody on suspicion of grievous bodily harm for his alleged role in a February 2023 nightclub incident.
Brown is accused to striking music producer Abe Diaw in the head with at Tape nightclub in London. During Friday's hearing, prosecutor Hannah Nicholls told the Manchester Magistrates Court that Brown committed "an unprovoked attack with a weapon in a nightclub full of people."
District Judge Joanne Hirst deemed the alleged offense "too serious" for her court and sent it to London's Southwark Crown Court. Brown's next appearance is set for June 13 after bail was denied.

Hirst's decision seemingly puts a halt to Brown's upcoming Breezy Bowl XX Tour, which is scheduled to kick off in the Netherlands on June 8 and also includes a pair of shows in Manchester.
On the day he's due back in court, Brown is supposed to be playing a show in Frankfurt, Germany. It goes without saying that all of these concerts are likely to be postponed or canceled outright.
According to the Associated Press, Brown wore sweatpants and a black T-shirt to today's court appointment. His hair was bleached blonde.
The "Run It" singer did not speak except to confirm his name, birth date and residence, given as the Lowry Hotel, where he was arrested Thursday. Brown is expected to enter a plea at his next appearance.
