Chris Brown was denied bail in the UK over an assault charge, affecting his tour plans. The case involves an alleged attack in a London nightclub.
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -U.S. singer Chris Brown was denied bail by an English court over a serious assault charge on Friday, throwing his upcoming world tour into doubt.
Brown has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" in a London nightclub in 2023.
The 36-year-old has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge. His tour manager and record label did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England this week after returning to Britain.
Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls told Manchester Magistrates' Court on Friday that Brown had committed an "unprovoked attack with a weapon in a nightclub full of people".
She added that Brown allegedly attacked a music producer with a bottle at the Tape nightclub in central London on February 19, 2023.
The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as "Loyal", "Run It" and "Under the Influence", is set to kick off his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
Judge Joanne Hirst remanded Brown into custody ahead of his next appearance at London's Southwark Crown Court on June 13.
