It says on QOL, that The Classic Rock article in June 2008 mentions John's involvement with the new Album.
Other than John (being a Company Director of Queen Productions, etc) saying go ahead and make it and send me a cheque when the money starts rolling in, does anyone think he has had any physical invovlement in it at all?

No because in the same article Roger says
"John's welcome but if you call him, you don't always get an answer. nobody knows where he is or what he's doing. he doesn't really like people. He sent a message when our musical 'We Will Rock You' launched in the West End saying that he approved of everything we were doing."

I would be over the moon if John did but theres more chance of me growing another arm!
John who?
This is Queen + Paul Rodgers! I don't see any reason for a lineup change.
Unless, this John guy has been really, really practicing....

John committed suicide 3 years ago
I don't want to disappoint you,
but John died in 1980. He will NOT be involved in the new album

That ought to get you up to speed.
I am sorry to crush your dreams, but it's been 28 years... time to move on, say goodbye to John.

Who wouldn't like to see John back? Really?
I WOULDN'T want to see John back. Really.
Can you imagine how his chops are? I mean how many performances from John Deacon have we seen recently. It's quite possible he put the bass down and never picked it up since.
You would want THAT guy holding down the low end for you?

Im not sure, when your a musician its in your blood. I know. Its hard to just forget about it and not have the drive to atleast play privately. Unless your of a certain mental disposition, which many people seem to say he is.
Maybe this is old news, but there were some rumours years ago that mentioned some information which might be the reason for him not being interesting in Queen anymore.
- First, yes we all agree that John wasnt that into the rocknroll life style, showbiz et.ct, that might have led to his withdrawal regardless on how things would have turned.
To the point: I read somewhere that John had started on the "Made in Heaven" project in 1993-94, but it was all deleted after Brian and Roger joined the sessions. I dont if this is true or not? But if it's true, it sounds very arrogant of Roger and Brian to do such a thing. Maybe John got upset about it and thought enough is enough...
Maybe this has nothing to with him not being present, just a thought...

I would. I'd like to see him more than Paul Rodgers and that team of American guys with guitars.

Roger and John started working on it without Brian. Brian did not like what they had done without him, so basically took control.
Remember that John also recorded No One But You, which was after MIH.

Given John's prior solo work, I'd have to think that Paul Rodgers and a team of American guys with guitars would put on a better show. Two hours of bass solos and the opera section of Bohemian Rhapsody sounds kind of monotonous.

alot of people think John would be a terrible player today...but just cause he hasnt been performing, doesnt mean he hasnt been playing.
not wanting to be in the spot light and giving up on ones passion is two differant things.
I like to think that he has been playing and creating some amazing music all these years.

But where is this amazing music, Phill? On his hard drive? You and I will write songs and even record them, but someone who's 'been there, done that'? I wonder what motivates them.
Now some have their hits and keep churning out albums to fans. Guys like Randy Newman, Peter Frampton, Colin Hay still write and RELEASE this material on their own. A lot of this material is better (in my opinion) than some of their commercial successes (see Hay, mentioned above). No record labels or contracts, you simply buy it from their website or amazon. There is a marketplace for the 'old guys', but I don't see John ever pursuing that either.
