R&B singer Chris Brown has said he will go "from the cage to the stage" after he was granted bail following a charge over an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub two years ago.
The American musician, 36, can continue with his scheduled international tour this year, including in Ireland and the UK in June and July, as part of his bail conditions.
Mr Brown must pay a £5 million security fee to the court, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions.
The singer is accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023.
He did not appear in court for the bail application hearing.
Shortly after being released from prison, Brown posted an Instagram story referencing his upcoming tour.
In the post, he said: "From the cage to the stage. Breezybowl."
Mr Brown was released from HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday at 4.45pm.
Shortly before then, the prison shutter gates opened to let a silver Mercedes van on to the site, which minutes later emerged with Mr Brown inside the vehicle.
A row of photographers captured the departure of the van, along with two members of Brown's entourage who filmed the moment.
