Bcftools view error

Hello, I have been running into this error.

[E::bgzf_uncompress] Inflate operation failed: 1
Error: BCF read error

gzip: 1kGP_high_coverage_Illumina.chr1.filtered.SNV_INDEL_SV_phased_panel.vcf.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: 1kGP_high_coverage_Illumina.chr1.filtered.SNV_INDEL_SV_phased_panel.vcf.gz: invalid compressed data--length error
