R&B artist Chris Brown has addressed his recent legal troubles in the UK, marking his first public statement since being released on bail.
Brown was arrested on May 15 in Manchester, England, in connection with an alleged 2023 assault at London’s Tape nightclub. The incident involved music producer Abraham Diaw, who claims Brown struck him with a tequila bottle, causing serious injuries.
Initially denied bail, Brown was later released after posting a £5 million ($6.7 million) bail. Conditions of his release include surrendering his passport, except for tour-related travel, and residing at a court-approved address.
Following his release, Brown took to Instagram, posting: “FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!! BREEZYBOWL,” referencing his upcoming “Breezy Bowl XX” world tour.
The tour is set to commence on June 8 in Amsterdam, with subsequent performances across the UK and Europe. Brown’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 20 at Southwark Crown Court in London.
Despite the legal challenges, Brown appears focused on his music career, with fans expressing support for the artist as he prepares to return to the stage.
