What’s next for Chris Brown after getting arrested in Manchester?

Brown is scheduled to launch his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour on June 8 in the Netherlands. However, he has also been ordered to appear at London’s Southwark Crown Court on June 13, putting the tour in question. According to the BBC, District Judge Joanne Hirst said the case has been moved to Southwark Crown Court because the charges are too serious to be handled at a magistrates’ court.

Despite the serious charges, many of Brown’s fans gathered at Manchester Magistrates’ Court to show support for the singer. A 35-year-old fan named Candy said she has been listening to Brown’s music since she was 14 and will continue to support him.

“I’m just here to support him,” she told the BBC. “I love his music, his voice. Even my children are fans now.”

The two-time Grammy Award winner has produced hits such as “Loyal,” “Run It” and “Under the Influence.”
