No Bail Breezy: Chris Brown Denied Bail In UK Assault Case
Written by djfrosty on May 16, 2025
Chris Brown has been denied bail by a British court and will remain in custody until at least June 13, following a charge of assault stemming from an incident in a London nightclub.
The American singer appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court, where he was formally charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. The alleged assault took place on February 19, 2023, at a venue in Hanover Square, London, and reportedly involved a music producer. Brown was arrested by London’s Metropolitan Police in Manchester on Thursday. At his court appearance, he was flanked by officers, dressed in sweatpants and a black T-shirt, with his signature bleached blonde hair.
He confirmed his identity and provided the address of the Lowry Hotel, where he was taken into custody.
His case has now been transferred to Southwark Crown Court in London, where he is scheduled to appear on June 13. Until then, he will be held in custody, a decision that carries significant implications for his ongoing “Breezy Bowl” UK tour. Being held until June 13 means Brown will miss several scheduled performances, including anticipated shows in Birmingham, Glasgow, and London.
Fans had been eagerly awaiting the tour, which was touted as one of his biggest UK appearances in years. Promoters have yet to release an official statement regarding refunds or rescheduling, but Brown’s legal situation is likely to disrupt the tour’s continuity. This latest development adds further controversy to the singer’s already turbulent public image.
