Chris Brown — an R&B star known for his outsize talent, huge fan base and disturbing history of brushes with the law — has announced dates for a 2024 tour that includes a stop in Alabama.

Brown, 34, is set to perform on July 11 in Birmingham at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC, with opening act Muni Long. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show go on sale Monday, March 11, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster, after a round of pre-sales. Ticket prices are $59.50, $79.50, $99.50, $129.50, $179.50, $229.50 and $299.50, plus service charges, according to promoter Live Nation.

Pre-sales start at 10 a.m. CT on Wednesday, March 6, according to the Ticketmaster listing, and end on Sunday, March 10, at 10 p.m. CT.

Brown’s “11:11 Tour” is named after his latest record, a 2023 double album that includes the track “Summer Too Hot,” which was nominated for Grammy this year in the category of Best R&B Performance. Brown has earned 22 Grammy nods during his high-profile career, 2005-present, and won a trophy in 2012 for Best R&B Album for “F.A.M.E.”

Brown initially made his fame as a teen phenom who burst onto the scene with silky vocals, songwriting prowess and fiery dance skills. He quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the music world — blending R&B with hip-hop and pop, releasing multi-platinum albums, dominating the airwaves with top-charting singles, collaborating with other artists and headlining popular concert tours.

Brown’s long list of hit singles includes “Run It!,” “Say Goodbye,” “Kiss Kiss,” “Poppin’,” “No Air,” “Take You Down,” “Deuces,” “Strip,” “She Ain’t You,” “Loyal,” “No Guidance,” “Go Crazy,” “Don’t Wake Me Up,” “Under the Influence” and more. He has 11 studio albums to his credit, all of which have either topped or reached the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s chart for R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Brown’s fan base is impressive in size and known for its devotion to the star. He currently has 145 million followers on Instagram, 50 million followers on Facebook, 31.5 million followers on X (formerly known as Twitter) and 8.2 million followers on TikTok.

Brown’s career has been marred, however, by controversies that involve domestic violence, drug use, probation violations and more. His personal reputation was severely tarnished, for example, when Brown was convicted of felony assault in 2009, after beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna. (He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community service.)

Since that time, Brown’s bad-boy image has been difficult to shake. He’s been involved in public fights with other celebrities and was arrested for assault in October 2013. (Brown later entered a guilty plea). Brown was arrested for felony battery in 2018 (the charges were later dropped) and his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, was granted a restraining order against Brown in 2018. The model alleged that he had been physically abusive with her and sent violent threats as text messages.

Brown has been in and out of rehab and anger-management programs, and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD by doctors while in rehab in 2014.

In 2022, Brown was sued by an unidentified woman who claimed Brown had drugged and raped her on a yacht. However, the accuser was dropped by her lawyers after text messages she had allegedly sent to Brown were revealed, complicating their relationship. The case was dismissed by a judge for a “lack of prosecution.”

Such problems haven’t prevented Brown from retaining his popularity with millions of listeners, and one of his 2012 hits was called “Don’t Judge Me.”

Brown continues to move forward with his career, and in February, he blasted the NBA in an Instagram post, saying he was disinvited from the league’s annual NBA All-Star Celebrity Game due to his past domestic violence controversies. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f**king past,” Brown said via Instagram stories.

Brown’s “11:11 Tour” starts on June 5 in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena and ends on Aug. 6 in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena, according to his current schedule. The Birmingham show is the only Alabama date on Brown’s agenda, although he’s playing in Atlanta on July 5 at State Farm Arena and has three concerts in Texas, July 16-19.

The BJCC had teased Brown’s return to Birmingham over the weekend with social media posts that showed his “11:11″ logo. Brown has a history of performances in the Birmingham area that includes a 2006 show at Boutwell Auditorium, a 2014 date at the BJCC arena and two dates at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre, in 2015 and 2018.
