Tataloo can still appeal the verdict. It\u2019s unclear if any appeal efforts have yet been made.<\/p>\n<p>The musician had been living in Istanbul since 2018 after several arrests by the Iranian authorities and after failing to get a music activity license from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, per <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/iranian-court-sentences-pop-singer-tataloo-to-death-for-blasphemy-3830284\">NME<\/a><\/em>.

He released his debut album, <em>Zire Hamkaf<\/em>, in 2011, and has gone on to release more than a dozen additional albums, the most recent being 2024\u2019s <em>Yin Yang<\/em>. His 2021 album <em>Fereshteh<\/em> marked him as the first Iranian musician to collaborate with Universal Music Group.<\/p>\n<p>Despite currently being at odds with the Iranian regime, Tataloo once engaged with conservative Iranian politicians. In 2015, he released a song in support of Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Two years later, he held a televised meeting with the ultra-conservative Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, later died in a helicopter crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranian singer Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, also known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy.
