American R&B singer Chris Brown has been granted bail by a UK court in an ongoing assault case, with the condition that he pays a £5 million bond.
The 36-year-old entertainer, widely known for his past relationship with pop star Rihanna, appeared before a British judge on Wednesday. Under the terms of his release, Brown is permitted to continue his international tour, which is scheduled to begin on June 8 in Amsterdam.
However, the court stipulated that Brown must return to the UK for a series of concerts starting on June 15. Failure to do so would result in the forfeiture of the £5 million bail.
Further details of the assault case have not been made public at this time. The case has drawn international media attention given Brown’s history with legal issues and his high-profile career in the music industry.
As of press time, neither Brown’s legal team nor the UK authorities have issued additional statements.
