US singer Chris Brown was remanded into custody on Friday when he appeared in an English court charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm on a man in a London nightclub.
Brown was charged over an incident on February 19 2023 when he allegedly attacked a music producer with a bottle at the Tape nightclub in central London.
The 36-year-old was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England, and appeared in the Manchester magistrate's court on Friday.
Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls said Brown committed an “unprovoked attack with a weapon in a nightclub full of people”.
The R&B star, known for hits such as Loyal, Run It and Under the Influence, is set to kick off a global tour next month, including shows in Manchester.
Brown, a two-time Grammy Award winner, was set to debut his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
Judge Joanne Hirst remanded Brown into custody before his next appearance in London's Southwark Crown Court on June 13.
