R&B singer Chris Brown has postponed his tour to Britain after being denied a visa to enter the country in a decision linked to his sentence for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna 16 months ago.
The 21-year-old, whose hits include "Run It!" and "Kiss Kiss," was sentenced in August 2009 to five years probation, ordered to perform 180 days of community service and attend domestic abuse counselling.
The tour was due to have started in Glasgow on Wednesday, followed by gigs in Birmingham, Manchester and London on Thursday, Friday and Sunday respectively.
