In the years since, 'Who Wants to Live Forever' has featured in numerous 'best of' Queen song lists, with Rolling Stone readers ranking it the fifth best Queen track of all-time in 2014, and Smooth Radio listeners voting it as the 15th best Queen ditty in 2018.
Where can I listen to 'Who Wants to Live Forever' by Queen?
On all of the best music streaming services, of course. That includes Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube.
