'''Michael "Mickey" Gannon''' is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera [[Neighbours]], played by [[child actor]] Fletcher O'Leary. He first appeared in [[June 2007]].
'''Justin Broadrick''' (born 1969 in [[Birmingham, England]]) is a founding member of the band [[Godflesh]], one of the first bands to crossover elements of [[Rock music|Rock]] and [[industrial music|industrial]] music, influencing bands such as [[ministry (band)|Ministry]] and [[Fear Factory]]. He also briefly appeared in the lineup of [[Napalm Death]] in the mid [[1980s]]. Thereafter, he joined [[Head of David]] on drums. He turned down offers to join highly visible rock groups such as [[Faith No More]] and [[Danzig (band)|Danzig]] ([http://www.decibelmagazine.com/features/jan2007/glenndanzig.aspx Interview with Glenn Danzig]. He is also well-known for remixing the works of other groups including [[Pantera]], [[Isis (band)|Isis]] and [[Hydra Head Records|Hydra Head]] labelmates, [[Pelican (band)|Pelican]].
 
==Character Biography==
[[Godflesh]] broke up in 2002 soon after the departure of fellow founding member G. Christian Green, and after Broadrick suffered a [[nervous breakdown]] shortly before a small US tour was to begin. The tour was promptly cancelled following the incident. Broadrick currently fronts the bands [[Jesu (band)|Jesu]] and [[Final (band)|Final]]. His new project 'Grey Machine' is in development. When in Godflesh, he was noted for using a gold guitar pick for an extra "metallic squeal" noise.
Mickey first appeared when his mother, Kirsten ([[Nikola Dubois]]), came to Erinsborough to find Mickey's father, Kirsten's ex-boyfriend [[Ned Parker]] ([[Daniel O'Connor]]). Kirsten claimed she needed time alone to grieve for her grandparents, and needed Ned to looked after Mickey. Ned, not even aware he was a father, agreed, but it became obvious that he didn't know the first thing about looking after Mickey, and his dog Jake.
 
After an incident in which Mickey lost his dog, Ned and his son bonded. However, not long after, Kirsten called, explaining she needed more time alone, possibly leaving Ned with the child indefinitely. In a later episode Kirsten re-appeared and told Ned it was time for her to live her life, seemingly leaving Mickey with Ned permanently.
Justin has also participated in a number of side projects with [[Kevin Martin]], in a number of different styles.
From the electronic ambient noise of [[Techno Animal]] to the more rap/hip-hop oriented Ice.

Some of Justin's other more notable side-projects included 'Solaris BC', 'The Sidewinder' and 'Curse of the golden vampire' (A project with [[Alec Empire]])
Ned decides to tell Micky he is his father over a special dinner, however Mickey falls into the number 30 pool trying to rescue a dead bird (that has died due to faulty wiring on the pool's light) - Mickey's life hung in the balance and sent Ned distraught.
 
Mickey makes a recovery and doctors give him the all-clear. Ned comes clean that he is Mickey's father. Mickey is overwhelmed, but Janae shys aways behind the door feeling pleased for both of them.

When Janae breaks the word that she may be leaving Erinsborough, Mickey is in tears and wets the bed. He finds himself in more sticky situations when a young bully (Max) vandalises his picture at Vacation Care. Following this incident Mickey accidentally wets himself and has the bully heckling him. When Ned and Janae arrive Ned faces off with Max's father but Janae prevents a punch-up.
==== Notable Remixes ====
 
After Janae's boxing match, a change of heart takes effect and Janae decides to stay, she couldn't make up her mind completely until Janelle forces her to see if Ned's feelings are the real thing.

Mickey's first day of school leads to devastating effects when Janae gives misconstrued advice about how to handle difficult people. Mickey comes under threat of expulsion if further trangressions continue. Unfortunately Mickey seems to see that the bullying showed people he wasn't intimidated and Ned feeling as he failed as a father. He makes it clear that he and he only will be the sole authority from now on.

More recently, Mickey accidently reversed a truck into a mini-bus full of several characters on their way home from the Yeats wedding. Could this be storyline be like that of the [[Neighbours Plane Crash]]?
