A beloved Iranian singer, actor, poet, TV and radio host who became one of the most prominent voices of Iranian culture.

On August 9, 1992, he was brutally murdered in his Bonn apartment, stabbed 37 times in what was widely believed to be an assassination by Islamic Republic agents. His death silenced one of Iran's most beloved cultural figures.
