United States singer Chris Brown has been granted bail by a court in London, the United Kingdom, over a charge of serious assault.
Brown was granted bail on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, after he promised to pay a 5 million-pound ($6.7 million) security fee, clearing the way for his world tour to begin next month.
Brown has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an “unprovoked attack” on music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
The 36-year-old singer has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge.
He was not present at Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner granted him bail.

The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner, is set to commence his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England last week after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago.
He was initially refused bail on Friday, but was granted bail on Wednesday on the condition he pay 4 million pounds with a further 1 million pounds due in seven days.
Brown was also required to surrender his passport, except for when he is travelling for his tour, Reuters reported.
He will next appear at London’s Southwark Crown Court on June 20.
