The star took to his Instagram almost instantly following his release, to share a story to his whopping 144 million followers, giving them the communication that the fanbase have been denied over this past week.

In a very simple and straight-to-the-point post, he said: “From the cage to the stage!!! Breezy Bowl.”

This comes after much speculation that his upcoming 2025 tour, ‘Breezy Bowl XX’, was going to be cancelled as the star, prior to his bail being granted, was set to be in prison for over 4 weeks, missing the first 6 dates of his tour.

The tour is definitely a hotter ticket than ever with all of the press around the singer’s arrest, and he is sure to put on the show of a lifetime, even though it could potentially be his last show in the UK for a while!

However, the court granted him bail with a £5 million security fee, specifically to allow the artist to begin his tour, with the hearing on the 20th June determining the ‘Run It’ singer’s consequence for the alleged nightclub attack.

The star was seen leaving the Salford prison in a Mercedes van alongside several members of his entourage as well as his suspected new girlfriend, Jada Wallace.

Breezy’s passport will be held by the police and only provided to the artist to allow travel to his upcoming European tour dates in the Netherlands and Germany.

It is still unknown what will happen to the proceeding tour dates after the 20th June, however fans are holding out for a positive verdict on the nightclub attack case.
