American R&B singer Chris Brown, former boyfriend of superstar Rihanna, was on Friday remanded in custody until June 13 by a UK court, charged with assault over a 2023 incident, reported AFP.<\/p>\n

The judge’s decision to reject his bail request throws into doubt the start of Brown’s next tour, with shows already sold-out in the Netherlands on June 8 and Germany on June 11.<\/p>\n

Brown, a two-time Grammy winner who has sold tens of millions of records worldwide, was arrested in the early hours of Thursday at a Manchester hotel and charged over the alleged assault at a London nightclub in 2023, police said.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Friday, where District Judge Joanne Hirst remanded him in custody until a plea and trial preparation hearing at London’s Southwark Crown Court on June 13.<\/p>\n

Brown is due to play in Germany that day, and has a series of shows planned in the UK and Europe during June and July, before heading to the United States.<\/p>\n

Wearing a black T-shirt, Brown spoke to confirm his name, age and the address of the hotel where he was staying.<\/p>\n

Brown was charged with “grievous bodily harm with intent” in relation to “an assault” that allegedly took place at a venue in Hanover Square in London on February 19, 2023, police said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls told the court the alleged victim was at the bar in the Tape nightclub in central London when he was struck several times with a bottle in an “unprovoked” attack.<\/p>\n

“The defendant then pursued him to a separate area of the nightclub where the victim was punched and kicked repeatedly by him and another,” she added.<\/p>\n

Brown was touring the UK at the time of the alleged assault.<\/p>\n

He reportedly flew into Manchester airport by private jet on Wednesday afternoon. Police detained him at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Manchester, according to media reports.<\/p>\n
