R&B singer Chris Brown has been handed an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, for his role in a "vicious and unprovoked" attack at a London nightclub in 2023. The sentence means Brown will avoid immediate jail time.
The confrontation occurred in February 2023 at the Tape private members' club in Mayfair, where Brown, 37, admitted to affray. He struck a music producer, identified as a former friend, repeatedly in the head with a tequila bottle. The judge acknowledged Brown's career in delivering the sentence.
