US singer Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to affray over what prosecutors called "a vicious and unprovoked attack" in a London nightclub in 2023. The 37-year-old star had been due to face a trial on more serious charges, which he denied - assault, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and having an offensive weapon, namely a tequila bottle. However, those charges have now been dropped. Affray, which is defined as using or threatening violence towards someone and making them fear for their safety, is punishable by up to three years in jail. Brown will be sentenced in October.
