During this time, Neville shared a flat with Jimi Hendrix's bass player Noel Redding and with Lemmy Kilmister of Hawkwind and Motörhead fame.
In Denver, he met a band (then called Aphrodite) and took them back to England, successfully procuring a record deal for them with E.L.P.
Neville moved to New York City in 1990, and started a film and video company located at his own residence, otherwise known as "The Loft".
Battling health issues, Neville returned to the UK in 2013, retiring comfortably in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire and continued to roadie occasionally for local bands and artists.
Chesters continued to be the subject of interviews and documentaries concerning his years working for The Jimi Hendrix Experience and other legendary bands.
