US singer Chris Brown will again apply for bail on Wednesday, after a Manchester court remanded him into custody over a serious assault charge and threw his upcoming world tour into doubt.
Brown has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" on a music producer at the Tape nightclub in central London in 2023.
The 36-year-old, who has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge, was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England last week after returning to Britain.
The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as Loyal, Run It and Under the Influence, was set to kick off his Breezy Bowl XX tour on 8 June in the Netherlands. He is due to play Dublin's Marlay Park on 28 June.
A judge at Manchester Magistrates' Court refused to grant him bail ahead of a hearing at London's Southwark Crown Court on 13 June.
Court staff said Brown will make a further application for bail at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday morning.
