Chris Brown to headline radio concert

Chris Brown is to make his first live appearance since his altercation with Rihanna.

The 20-year-old R&B singer will headline the New Jersey radio station Power 105.1 FM's 'Powerhouse 09' concert.

Brown, who has taken time off from the spotlight since his conviction, will perform at the Izod Centre in East Rutherford, NJ on October 27.

A promoter told MSNBC: "This is a pretty C-list lineup. Keri Hilson is good, Ginuwine has some following, but this is nothing like the lineup that would have surrounded him this time last year.

"Chris was the Michael Jackson heir apparent, he had huge endorsement deals. This isn’t the sort of show you would have expected from him before he got in trouble."

According to Rolling Stone, it is still unclear if Brown has clearance from the Los Angeles court to perform at the show.
