US singer Chris Brown denied bail in UK, throwing upcoming 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.
