Chris Brown can go on tour next month in the UK and Europe after a London court released him on bond on Wednesday.
Brown was arrested on assault charges in Manchester, England last week.
He was denied bond during a hearing on Friday in Manchester. However, a London judge released the Grammy-winning American singer on $6.7 million (USD) bail on Wednesday, May 21.
Brown, 36, was arrested by Metropolitan police at a 5-star hotel hours after he arrived in Manchester on a private jet on Thursday, May 15.
He faces charges of “grievous bodily harm” for smashing a tequila bottle over the head of music producer Abraham “Abe” Diaw at Tape nightclub in London in 2023.
Diaw also filed a civil lawsuit against the “Residuals” singer/songwriter in 2023.
Brown did not appear at the bail hearing in Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner set his bail conditions.
The bond will be forfeited if Brown fails to return to court to answer the charges.
In addition to paying the court a $5.4 million “security fee” to secure his release, Brown must pay an additional $1.3 million guarantee fee to the court within a week.
His manager, Anthony Wilson (also known as singer Monica’s man), was seen delivering KFC chicken and clean underwear to Brown at the Manchester county jail earlier this week.

Attorneys for Brown say he will accept a plea deal (if one is offered) to avoid a mandatory minimum 5-year prison sentence on the assault charge.
Sources close to Brown’s camp tell XXL that a plea deal may be in the works. A plea deal may also include fines, mandatory therapy, or other court-ordered measures.
Brown is preparing for his Stadium World Tour that is scheduled to kick off in Manchester in June.
