Narrator:
Chris Brown is throwing deuces to a U.K. jail as he’s been released on bail. Breezy was arrested on May 15 while at the Lowry Hotel in Salford. He was charged with “inflicting grievous bodily harm,” which is tied to an alleged February 2023 London nightclub attack. The “Residuals” singer was initially denied bail on May 16 and remanded to remain in custody until June for his next hearing, before he was granted a seven-figure bond on Wednesday, May 21. Upon release, Breezy took to social media to celebrate his release, posting on his Instagram Story: “From the cage to the stage!!!” Brown wrote in the post, before adding, “Breezy Bowl.” The “Breezy Bowl” is a reference to Brown’s upcoming stadium tour, which was put in jeopardy with him in jail. The tour is slated to kick off on June 8 in Amsterdam, but there were worries that the singer wouldn’t be able to perform if he wasn’t granted bail, since he was slated to be back in a London court later in June. According to Reuters, Brown was ordered to pay $5.4 million now, with an additional $1.3 million due in a week. With his now updated court schedule, Brown will find himself back in a London courthouse on June 20, which is bookended by a pair of performances on June 19 and June 21. Breezy’s tour is back on track, kicking off on June 8 in Amsterdam. But don’t worry—the Breezy Bowl will be making its way to the States on July 30 for a performance in Miami.
