Chris Brown: US singer freed on bail by London court.

Grammy-winning musician Chris Brown has been released on a £5 million bail following accusations of assaulting a music producer with a bottle at a London nightclub. The ruling allows Brown to continue his world tour plans, with his next court appearance scheduled for June 13. The alleged assault on producer Abe Diaw occurred during Brown’s previous tour in London, and surveillance footage captured the incident. Brown’s friend, American musician Omololu Akinlolu, was also charged in connection with the attack. Both men are set to appear in court again on June 20.

5 Surprising Facts About Janet Jackson Ahead of Her 2025 AMAs Return

Janet Jackson will be honored with the Icon Award at the 51st American Music Awards, marking a highly anticipated return to the spotlight alongside her upcoming Las Vegas residency. As a legendary singer, actress, and dancer, her influence on pop culture spans decades. Here are five lesser-known facts about her remarkable journey:

1. Her Music Career Started by Accident

Janet never planned to be a singer. At age 9, she recorded a song called Fantasy in her family’s home studio out of boredom. When her father and brother Michael heard it, they were so impressed her father insisted she pursue music—despite her dreams of studying business law.

2. She’s a Self-Taught Dancer

Despite her iconic dance moves, Janet has had no formal training. She learned by watching classic MGM musicals. Ballet didn’t work out—“I’ve got a booty,” she joked—and after a harsh experience as a child, she developed her unique style through self-discipline and observation.

3. She Almost Recorded a Duet with Prince

During the making of Rhythm Nation 1814, producers considered turning Love Will Never Do (Without You) into a duet with Prince. Janet sang the verses in two different registers in anticipation, but the collaboration never materialized—a major “what-if” in music history.
