If you were ever hoping to visit the house where the video for Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" was filmed, you're unfortunately out of luck.

In a tweet responding to a fan asking about the house, the emo rockers shared, "Sadly that house was torn down."

The band also posted a Google Maps view of where the house used to stand, on the corner of E Lincoln Drive and N 40th Place in Paradise Valley, Arizona, a Phoenix suburb near Jimmy Eat World's hometown of Mesa, Arizona.

The video for "The Middle" features an awkward outsider who stumbles upon a house party filled with people dancing in their underwear. The clip's been viewed over 89 million times on YouTube.

While you're mourning the loss of "The Middle" house, you can listen to Jimmy Eat World's latest single, "Something Loud," which premiered in June. You can also catch the band live on tour in September and at the much-anticipated When We Were Young festival in October.
