Why is Chris Brown banned from the UK?
Chris Brown was originally banned from entering the UK in 2010 after being arrested for assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 in a car after a Grammy’s party.
The singer pled guilty to felony assault of his then girlfriend in 2009.
In a statement in 2010, the Home Office said: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence.
"Public safety is one of our primary concerns.”
The singer also had his visa application to tour in Australia formally denied on character grounds in 2015.
