Chris Brown completes community service
Troubled R&B star Chris Brown is preparing to get his joint tour with Trey Songz back on track after completing his community service sentence.
The Kiss Kiss hitmaker had to postpone the start of the Between The Sheets trek last month (Jan15) after a Los Angeles judge refused to sign off on a travel permit needed for the North American shows because he had yet to complete the final 100 hours of his community service by his January (15) deadline.
He had been ordered to log a total of 1,000 hours after violating
his probation stemming from his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend
Rihanna.
Brown's probation was also revoked after it was determined that he
had recently broken court orders by leaving Los Angeles County to
play a gig in San Jose, California - a move which could still land
him back behind bars if he is found to have wilfully violated the
terms of his freedom.
However, Brown is now ready to get back onstage after meeting his
legal obligations.
Taking to Twitter.com on Friday night (06Feb15), he wrote,
"Finished all my community service... BTS TOUR..... Here we
come."
The Behind The Sheets tour was initially scheduled to kick off in
Brown's home state of Virginia on 27 January (15), with the trek
continuing until March (15). A new start date has yet to be
announced.
Brown was back in the headlines on Saturday (07Feb15) when police
conducted a search of his car after receiving an anonymous tip
alleging one of his passengers was carrying a weapon. No firearms
were found in the singer's Lamborghini, which had been parked
outside Sayer nightclub in Los Angeles while the star attended a
pre-Grammy Awards party held by rapper T.I.
