Nope, they showed his drug and alcohol issues to be his downfall.
There is a very uncomfortable scene of him and his manager/lover, being touted as the first explicit gay scene in a main stream movie...or some words to that effect.
I actually liked the movie but cringed at the sex scene.
I enjoyed the music, but the overwhelming focus on his being gay really detracted from the movie. To me it was the ONLY thing that the movie focused on. Nearly every scene was about his gayness. But the music WAS great.
