Chris Brown has broken his silence following his successful re-application for bail and subsequent release from police custody in Manchester.
It was confirmed yesterday at Southwark Crown Court that Brown, 36, had been granted bail, after his previous request for release was denied.
In response to the ruling, Brown took to Instagram to share a message with his followers, writing: âFROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!!â
He also referenced his upcoming international tour, adding: âBREEZYBOWL.â
The singer is accused of an attack on music producer Abraham Diaw at the Tape nightclub in Hanover Square, Mayfair, on February 19, 2023, when he and his entourage were at the venue for a Dirty Martini club night at the time.

It is said Mr Diaw was struck several times with a bottle before being pursued across the club and punched and kicked several times.
Brownâs case was first heard in Manchester Magistrates' Court on May 17, where the decision to remand him in custody.
But on Wednesday, Judge Tony Baumgartner agreed that the singer could have bail as long as he complies with a series of conditions.
A £5million security has been put up as part of the bail package, he must live at an address in the UK while awaiting trial, and he has also been ordered to surrender his passport to police.
However a plan has also been put in place for Brown to travel to Europe, the US, and Canada to complete his Breezy Bowl XX world tour, by using his passport to travel and then leaving it with his lawyers while he completes the gigs.
Brown was not in court for Wednesdayâs hearing, when he was represented by Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC.
Omolulu Akinlolu, 38, a US national, was charged alongside Brown with grievous bodily harm with intent at the weekend, and has been remanded in custody.
Brown was arrested at just after 2am last Thursday at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Manchester.

Announcing the criminal charge, Adele Kelly, the Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London North, said: âWe 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.
âThe alleged incident occurred in London on 19 February 2023.â
She added: âThe Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.
âIt is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.â
Brown was on a worldwide tour and playing in the UK at the time of the alleged attack.
The R&B singer was arrested when he flew into Manchester Airport on a private jet ahead of the UK leg of his Breezy Bowl XX world tour, which has scheduled dates around the country including two nights - June 21 and 22 - at Londonâs Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The judge agreed to bail conditions that Brown lives at an address in the UK, does not contact Mr Diaw or Akinlolu or go to Tape nightclub, and does not apply for international travel documents.
Comedian Mike Birbiglia says he absorbed a lot of lessons from his parents – whether he realized it or not as a kid. From his mom's ability to talk to everyone, to his dad's drive and ambition.
