US singer Chris Brown was on Wednesday granted bail by a London court after he was charged with a serious assault, clearing the way for his world tour to begin next month.

The R&B singer was charged last week with grievous bodily harm over a 2023 incident in England. His release from custody means he can proceed with a world tour.

A British judge has ordered Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown released on $6.7 million bail while facing allegations that he beat and seriously injured a music producer in a London nightclub in 2023.
