Brown has been a mainstay in the R&B world since he was sixteen, and his self-titled debut dropped in 2005. Since then, he has been nominated for 22 Grammys, taking one home in 2012 for Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E. Most recently, his 11:11 single "Summer Too Hot" was nominated for Best R&B Performance; it hit number one on Billboard's R&B chart.
That said, we won't be attending his tour.
Lest we forget, Brown, one of the most prominent R&B artists of the 21st century, is also an unrepentant domestic abuser.
His assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 left her with visible injuries, including bruises on her face and a split lip. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and making criminal threats.
He made a public apology, during which he said, "I have told Rihanna countless times, and I’m telling you today, that I am truly, truly sorry that I wasn’t able to handle the situation differently and better."
But as the saying goes, the best apology is changed behavior, and Brown didn't change.
In 2017, Brown's ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a restraining order against him. She alleged physical violence, including punching her in the stomach and pushing her down stairs, as well as threats to kill her. The restraining order prevented Brown from coming within 100 yards of her for a period of five years.
If you don't care about any of this and just want to hear him sing "Forever" in person, tickets to the 11:11 Tour start with an artist pre-sale at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, at livenation.com. All tickets will be available there at 10 a.m. Monday, March 11.
Have fun with that.
