Brown, 36, is accused of launching an unprovoked attack on a producer at a nightclub in 2023, striking him with a bottle.

LONDON, UK — A British judge has granted bail to Grammy-winning artist Chris Brown, setting it at 5 million pounds ($6.7 million), as he faces accusations of assaulting a music producer with a bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.

This decision by Southwark Crown Court allows Brown’s world tour to proceed, which was previously put at risk when a judge ordered his detention following charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent last week.

Judge Tony Baumgartner stipulated that while Brown can continue his tour, including various performances in the U.K., he must post the bail to ensure his return to court.

Brown was initially scheduled to appear in court again on June 13. If he had been held until then, Brown would have missed at least two dates on his upcoming tour, which starts next month in Europe.

Brown, 36, is accused of launching an unprovoked attack on producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in the swanky Mayfair neighborhood in February 2023 while he was on last tour.

Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls said last week in Manchester Magistrates’ Court that Brown struck Diaw several times with a bottle and then punched and kicked him in an attack caught on surveillance camera in front of a club full of people.

American musician Omololu Akinlolu, 38, who performs under the name “Hoody Baby” and is a friend of Brown, was also charged in the attack.

Neither Brown nor Akinlolu have entered a plea yet. Both men were ordered to appear in court again on June 20.

Brown, who burst onto the music scene as a teen in 2005, won his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2011 for “F.A.M.E.” and then earned his second in the same category for “11:11 (Deluxe)” earlier this year.

His hits include songs such as “Run It,” “Kiss Kiss” and “Without You.”

His tour is due to kick off June 8 in Amsterdam before starting North America shows in July.
