Elton John once terrified a doped-up Iggy Pop when he stumbled on stage during a THE STOOGES show wearing a gorilla suit.

The punk icon admits he still remembers how the sight of Elton as a gorilla over 30 years ago had him trembling.

He says, "I was unusually stoned that evening to the point of barely being ambulatory so it scared the hell out of me. "I really didn't know what was going on. For all I knew it was a crazed biker on methedrine in that gorilla suit."
