Brown was initially denied bail on Friday, May 16. However, he was granted his request at the Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, May 21, and was released on a USD 6.7 million bail.
The terms of the bail dictated that Brown needed to pay USD 4.5 million of his bail "immediately," and then would have a week to pay off the remainder, reported People.
Judge Tony Baumgartner dictated new terms, claiming that the court wanted to know where Brown lived. Brown is also unable to obtain documents to leave the United Kingdom, contact his accuser, or attend the club where the alleged incident occurred.
Brown will be able to head out on his Breezy Bowl tour, according to the conditions of his bail. The tour marks the 20th anniversary of his career and begins with a sold-out performance in Amsterdam on Sunday, June 8, according to People.
