Not exactly assaulted but the protagonist is heavily flirted at by their landlady. He's clearly uncomfortable and unwilling. This is mostly shown in deleted/extra scenes, but it's clear in the theatrical cut as well, that he is basically forced into a relationship with her because they needed the room.

The main character swallows a lot of pills at once, and almost chokes on them. It is during the pool party scene. He also falls into the water, but there is no depiction of trouble breathing there.

there is a brief shot (barely even a second long) of two clowns during the performance of "I'm Still Standing" near the end. it is only one shot during the line "And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now" as a part of the ensemble performance.

After Elton and Bernie sing Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road at the restaurant. Also, not rly vomit, but after he overdosed on pills, the ambulance takes him, and they hook him up to a machine. The machine goes in his mouth, and it brings all of the overdosed pills up. It’s not vomit, but just thought you guys might wanna know. Nothing to worry about tho.

Not quite but there are scenes that clearly aren’t in the real world and are just supposed to depict how Elton felt/remembers the moment e.g himself and the audience floating during a scene

He doesn't die but there is a suicide attempt. The main character takes an overdose of prescription drugs and then dives into a swimming pool after announcing that he's going to kill himself.

No, but the picture sometime goes 'blurry and whooshy' to symbolise that the character is high. Also there is a 'spinning camera' scene around the middle of the film.

There are a lot of homophobic slurs used but mostly they aren't said with the intention of insulting someone. The main character uses them when he comes out to someone and another character uses one to explain that his friend is gay.
