I'd like to see Andy working, period.

I would love to see Andy Taylor produce the new album. That would be cool, but is Andy even speaking to any of them anymore? Plus I'm pretty sure Nick would never allow it.

I'm pretty sure Andy still speaks to Roger and Simon. I wouldn't know about the other two. I would love to see him working also. I know he's busy producing, but I'd like to see him finally release his own material.

I know he's busy producing, but I'd like to see him finally release his own material. Andy made it clear in the 2009 paperback version of his book that he was no longer on speaking terms with the guys, aside from a brief talk with Roger at a Who concert just before then. Andy and Simon did exchange some tweets a few years ago, but otherwise, it's not known if he's spoken with anyone since that paperback version came out.

Those of you interested in reading Andy's perspective with his last meeting with Roger - here is the snippet from the 2009 edition of his autobiography:
...The box from which Tracey and I watched the concert was close to the one Simon and Roger shared but but Simon disappeared pretty quickly. Roger and I, however, came face to face over drinks - and I think that was the moment when the enormity of the split finally hit me. Roger smiled and we shook hands in tacit agreement to put any bitterness to one side. Opening up any differences would hardly have been appropriate given the time or the place. Roger is never one to be confrontational and even though I can rip someone’s throat out if I ‘m in a temper, I just didn’t have the heart to bear an old friend any ill will. I felt a little saddened knowing that Roger and I had agreed on so many issues and now he seemed as if he was just cruising along with whatever was dished up, including using some beat machines. [...] Roger and I vowed to keep in touch with each other, but while we were chatting, i couldn’t help feeling that the atmosphere seemed just a little too polite, if not a tiny bit frosty. I think that’s when it properly sank in: we have nothing left in common, our friendship is gone. I was no longer a member of the band we created - we no longer had the same terms of endearment. It was the last time Roger and I spoke and none of us have ever spoken since...

Yes - an additional chapter was requested by the publisher I believe. I remember reading that he got paid a cool million for his book.
