Singer Chris Brown was arrested in Florida where he was performing as part of a nationwide tour.

The 29-year-old singer, who is currently on his "Heartbreak on a Full Moon" tour, was performing at the Coral Sky Ampitheatre in West Palm Beach on Thursday.

According to TMZ, the law enforcement officers were waiting for the singer, and arrested him immediately after the concert's conclusion.

As per the reports, the arrest was for an outstanding warrant and Brown was later released after he deposited a USD 2000 bail.

According to NBC's WPTV, the charges were for a felony battery, and the warrant came from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

 

Following his arrest and release, Brown took to Instagram to post a photo.

"Show tomorrow!" he confirmed in the caption.

Brown has had several run-ins with the law.

He has also been accused of assault, battery and smoking marijuana on a plane.
