Percussionist Sheila E made an appearance at the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl to play with a Polynesian drum group during a TV timeout for the Aloha Stadium crowd. After her performance, she watched the remainder of the game on the NFC sidelines wearing the Drew Brees black New Orleans Saints game jersey hanging in front of her drum kit.
The diminutive drummer recently made an appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" for "Drum Solo Week".
