Sugarkikz owner Ryan Sukkar explained to TMZ that Elton Johnafter learning that there was no bathroom, “turned to his security and asked for a bottle, walked a few steps away from the other shoppers and began peeing in the container.”

According to Sukkar, “he peed a little on the floor and asked for a towel to clean it up,” and the store manager was “shocked and amazed” by his behavior.

Ryan Sukkar said he had “no idea” who the person was and when asked what he did for a living, the rock star simply replied, “I’m Elton John.” Elton ended up buying two pairs of shoes for his kids and posed for photos in the store.
