One can also keep up by subscribing to the NME's Manics news feed:
http://www.nme.com/news/manic-street-preachers?alt=rss using a service like Google Reader:
http://www.google.com/reader/
Or setting up a Google Alert:
http://www.google.com/alerts which would go to your inbox on anything containing "manic street preachers", the frequency customized to one's liking. The Manics' home page news has an RSS feed apparently, but the button doesn't work for me

, so there are these alternatives...plus I lurk FD like crazy.
