The preliminary hearing for singer Bobby Brown has been continued from Wednesday until Feb. 4, a Fulton County court clerk said.

Brown is charged with battery following an alleged fight with his wife, fellow entertainer Whitney Houston. Brown allegedly hit his singer-actress wife in the face. Police said Houston had a bruised cheek and a cut inside her upper lip.

Brown left R&B group New Edition in the late 1980s for a solo career. His songs include "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step."

Houston and Brown have been married since 1992. They have a 10-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
