Chris Brown has been formally charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, according to the Metropolitan Police. The charge stems from an incident reportedly occurring on February 19, 2023, at a nightclub in central London. The well-known R&B singer, now 36, was apprehended early Thursday morning at a hotel in Manchester, where he had arrived via a private jet the previous day.
Currently in custody, Brown is set to appear before Manchester Magistrates' Court on Friday. Adele Kelly, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, confirmed, "We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861." She emphasized that "criminal proceedings against this defendant are active" and affirmed his entitlement to a fair trial.
Despite the legal turmoil, Chris Brown's touring schedule remains intact, with multiple shows lined up across the UK for June and July. The situation continues to unfold as fans and followers await further updates on both the legal proceedings and the tour.
