In the music industry the title "producer", and more importantly getting a "production credit" on an album does not automatically mean any work is involved. Some producers are very hands on and are involved with all the technical aspects of getting tracks laid down, mic selection, the whole nine yards, and some are just there to ride the gravy train.
I'm sure he'd be involved in the creative process somehow, but he would probably not be doing any of the technical work. Definately not what you'd call "hard work".
I met him about 4 years ago, and at that time he was "technically illiterate" enough that he had engineers on call that could show up at his house to run his home studio if he got a shot of inspiration late at night. Though Im sure he could've learned more in that time. But bottom line is lot of the people who do the actual "production" work are never credited as such.
