Chips won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video for the Anthology project, and also produced documentaries on Paul McCartney ("Liverpool Oratorio" from PBS' "Great Performances", "Put It There"), Jimi Hendrix ("Hendrix: Band of Gypsies"), the Pet Shop Boys, Elizabeth Taylor and The Who.
The Beatles issued the following statement on their website: Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Chips Chipperfield, who has sadly passed away. Chips was the Grammy award winning producer of the Beatles Anthology, and a long serving member of the Apple Corps family. Warm, wise and kind, he was loved and respected by all those who worked with him. His youthful spirit and enthusiasm for life will continue to be an inspiration to all those who knew him. He will be dearly missed by all of us.
